This unidirectional tape helps support all-thermoplastic hydrogen pressure vessels

Summary

Envalior has launched UDea EcoPaXX Q20HTC60, a high-performance thermoplastic unidirectional (UD) tape. The continuous fiber-reinforced tape is designed to wrap and mechanically reinforce polyamide liners, supporting high-pressure, all-thermoplastic hydrogen pressure vessels.

What impact could all-thermoplastic, fiber-reinforced designs have on cost, weight, durability, and end-of-life recyclability compared with metal-lined or thermoset composite hydrogen tanks?

This company is launching a new high-performance thermoplastic unidirectional (UD) tape for high-pressure all-thermoplastic hydrogen pressure vessels. With UDea® EcoPaXX®Q20HTC60, the manufacturer of high-performance plastics is offering a continuous fiber-reinforced tape, which can be used to wrap and mechanically reinforce polyamide liners.
