TFP Inc. introduces recycled carbon veil

TFP Inc. is all set to showcase its wide range of special nonwoven materials for composites at the CAMX show starting on October 31. One of their highlights is a new recycled carbon veil, aiming to promote sustainability in the carbon composite industry.

TFP, a part of the James Cropper group, has extensive experience in working with recycled carbon fibers, using them to create a high-quality veil. This veil can be reused in making composites, effectively closing the loop of the carbon composite lifecycle and finding a way to recycle fibers that were previously seen as waste.

Mike Campbell, VP of Sales at TFP Inc., emphasized their commitment to developing environmentally friendly solutions for the composites industry. They aspire to help their customers achieve their technical goals while considering sustainability. The recycled carbon veil is part of TFP’s sustainable nonwovens range, tailored to enhance the finish, fabrication, or functionality of composites. It allows customers to display environmental responsibility without compromising on performance or quality.

This recycled carbon veil can be used in various applications such as aerospace interiors, sporting goods, automotive components, and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) components. It has already been successfully used to create composite parts.

TFP’s nonwovens, including the recycled carbon veil, can be easily integrated into composites, providing surfacing or semi-structural layers. They offer diverse solutions, such as a high-quality resin-rich surface finish, electrical conductivity, and resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. At the CAMX show, TFP will also present a range of their traditional materials, demonstrating their versatility and applications in advanced composite design and fabrication.
