Luxury carbon fiber: NTPTTM ultra-high performance prepreg carbon fiber full resolution

With the improvement of people’s living standards, the luxury market is booming. Many luxury goods use specialized high-tech materials in their design and manufacturing processes to ensure that their quality is different. Carbon fiber is a specialized material widely used in the luxury sector. Among them, NTPTTMultra-high-performance prepreg carbon fiber has become one of the carbon fiber materials chosen by luxury manufacturers because of its excellent material properties. This article will comprehensively analyze the excellent characteristics of NTPTTM ultra-high-performance prepreg carbon fiber and its application in the luxury field.

2. The origin of NTPT ultra-high performance prepreg carbon fiber

NTPT stands for Thin Ply Technology, which means thin layer technology, and is a French company of control technology (Toray Composites France S. A.) A carbon fiber reinforced composite material developed in the 90s. By reprocessing traditional carbon fibers, the thickness of the unidirectional thin layer is greatly reduced, and the unidirectional layer thickness of NTPT carbon fiber can reach 0.03mm, which is 1/10 of ordinary carbon fiber. The ultra-fine thin layer thickness reduces the anisotropy of NTPT carbon fiber, resulting in more uniform performance.

After more than 20 years of development, carbon NTPT fiber has now become a high-end carbon fiber brand with excellent performance, which is widely used in racing cars, aircraft, yachts, watches and other fields with extremely high requirements for strength and rigidity. It has also been selected as a special material by many luxury brands due to its unique properties, and is used in the manufacture of luxury goods such as limited edition sports cars and luxury yachts.

3.Manufacturing process of NTPT ultra-high performance prepreg carbon fiber

The manufacturing process of NTPT carbon fiber is very complex and requires precise control of all links:

PAN (polyacrylonitrile) was selected as a precursor raw material, and ultrafine PAN precursor fibers were prepared by solution spinning.

PAN fibers are subjected to high-temperature oxidation, carbonization and surface treatment to form fine carbon fibers with a high degree of warp orientation.

Fine carbon fibers and epoxy resins are pre-impregnated to precisely control the resin content.

The prepreg is made into an ultra-fine unidirectional thin layer of about 0.03mm through a patented process.

Ultra-fine unidirectional thin layers are stacked through automated equipment for design-oriented layers.

Carbon fiber composite sheet is made by vacuum hot pressing process.

CNC cutting of plates to obtain composite parts of the desired shape.

Finally, the curing process is carried out to complete the manufacturing of ultra-high-performance NTPT carbon fiber composite materials.

Compared with ordinary carbon fiber, the core innovation of NTPT carbon fiber lies in the preparation of ultra-fine unidirectional layers, which greatly improves the anisotropy and mechanical properties of the material. This patented process makes it a high-end carbon fiber material.
