Thermoplastic Composite Sheets - Neomera® NCF-6 Series
Neomera® NCF-6 organosheets are based on non-crimp fabrics, offering solutions for very specific needs, depending on the fabric style. We can offer Neomera® PA-6 organosheets based on uni-directional, quadrax and eventual other fabric styles upon demand. Our proprieraty sizing we use on our glass fiber for non-crimp fabric production is unique by offering covalent bonding to the thermoplastic matrix.

What are NCF-6 organosheets?
Neomera® NCF-6 organosheets are semi finished products consisting of a non-crimped fabric impregnated with caprolactam creating a PA-6 matrix during the JM in-situ reaction process. The advantages of the thermoplastic matrix lie in the hot forming capability of the semi finished products and the resulting shorter process times compared to conventional thermoset fiber composites. This is of particular interest in the automotive industry with its short processing times. Frequently used fiber materials are glass, aramid and carbon. For non-crimped fabrics, the fibers can be e.g. all in 0° (uni-derectional), 0°/+45°/-45°/90° (quadrax), or any other design. Non-crimped fabrics are not woven, but are laying on top of each other, for Neomera® NCF-6 being stitched with a glass yarn, properties are defined by the fabric design. Neomera® NCF-6 organosheets are fully recyclable and due to the unique production method having a low carbon footprint.

"Did you know that Neomera® NCF-6 organosheets provide superior loadbearing capacity because fibers in NCF fabrics can be directly aligned with load paths? NCF-6 organosheets contain layers of unidirectional fibers bonded together with stitching yarns. They offer superior strength and stiffness because of the straightness of fibers and are well suited for
demanding applications."
