CRP Technology’s carbon reinforced composite material Windform SP
thermoplastics, offering superior strength, thermal resistance, and advanced electrical properties. This allows CRP Technol- ogy to manufacture functional prototypes and end-use parts with mechanical performance that surpasses traditional SLS materials, according to the company. Windform composites for SLS “offer a unique combination
of high strength, lightweight properties, and durability, making them suitable for demanding industries such as aerospace, defense, and motorsports,” it said. They can withstand high temperatures, vacuum, radiation, and thermal cycling, plus the range includes electrically conductive and dielectric options, used in electronics and aerospace components. CRP Technology also indicated other features: post-pro- cessing versatility – Windform parts can be smoothed, coated, CNC-machined, and vapor-smoothed, enabling high-quality finishing; the proven track record of Windform composites, which have been used in space missions, racing vehicles, UAVs, and industrial applications, demonstrating their real-world reliability. Xenia Materials used the Formnext 2024 meeting in
Frankfurt, Germany to announce that it has expanded into the world of FDM/FFF 3D printing and has launched four new materials there. The first of these, Xecarb SL 3DF, is described as a 100% bio-based PA 11 polymer matrix reinforced with 15% carbon fibre. It offers good strength at a density of 0.99 g/cm3 At a density of 0.87 kg/m3
, the company’s new Xelight
3DF product is based around PEBA which gives components good flexibility and impact resistance. It is designed for lightweight products that need good flexibility, said Xenia. Xecarb 45 3DF integrates 10% carbon fibre into a structur- ally modified PVDF base. This enables it to be used success- fully in components found in aggressive environments which need resilience and stability under challenging conditions. Based around 100% recycled polymers, Xegreen 23 3DF is a 20% carbon-fibre reinforced PETG material. It has a good combination of mechanical strength and lightweight properties while meeting sustainability objectives. It should be “the ideal choice for environmentally conscious manufac- turers”, according to the company. Compounding innovation company Plastics App has

Specialized in flame retardants, alternative to ATO
________________ ST-ZB2300
Flame retardant and smoke suppressant with excellent high-temperature stability, anhydrous zinc borate
ST-ZB2300 can work with high-temperature polymers. ________________
Sodium antimonate
Compared with ATO, it has lower reactivity and can be used in some acid-sensitive polymer materials like polyesters. ________________
ST-FR6
We help PVC wire and cable manufacturers stabilize costs and improve product safety—eliminating reliance on volatile ATO supplies—using ST-FR6 ________________
ST-FR7
It is the cost-effective, reliable alternative—delivering flame resistance, sustainability, and supply security without ATO. It can be used in engineering plastics such as polyester, nylon, and ABS.
