Toray CFRT® XTS 3L and 4L

Toray Toray CFRT® XTS 3L and 4L are reinforced thermoplastic composite laminates. They blend the benefits of a thermoplastic polymer matrix with uni-directional glass fibers for enhanced performance. The XTS style laminate is offered in 3-layer (0°/90°/0°Fiber orientations) and 4-layer (0°/90°/90°/0°Fiber orientations) construction that is ultrathin, lightweight, and resilient for improved energy return.
