Composite for automotive applications requiring lightweight material with high-end look and feel

01-Mar-17

A recently launched composite material by A. Schulman Inc - Forged Preg™ is a lightweight material with superior surface appearance. "We are proud to introduce this product to the European market at this major event," says Frank Roederer, SVP and General Manager U.S. and Canada and SVP Engineered Composites. "The material is the result of a close collaboration with the world's largest maker of premium, performance golf goods. It distinguishes itself through its strength and stiffness which is higher than similar competitive products. It is much thinner, too, and allows the molding in fabric form. Forged Preg™ is suitable for use in automotive applications requiring a lightweight material with high-end look and feel," he concludes.
