Covestro Maezio® ,as a continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites material, combine strong carbon or glass fibers with the power and flexibility of thermoplastics.Thermoplastics like polycarbonate are used as the substrate material, and carbon or glass fibers are used for reinforcement. The results are composite uni-directional tapes that also can then be laminated at different angles to form sheets tuned to a specific mechanical performance objective. These laminates are light, strong, and beautiful. They look and sound like metal, but have the design flexibility of a thermoplastic material.

Advantages of carbon fiber composites

What needs can carbon fiber composites solve for you?

Maezio® combine high mechanical strength with good appearance and urltra-light performance.They boast versatile processing options for production at scale thanks to compatibility with production technologies including thermal compression molding, automated tape laying (ATL), automated fiber placement (AFP) and functional integration by injection molding. These materials are characterized by their unique, metal-like surface immediately after production, which is also compatible with a wide range of coating and embellishment options. Unique textures, logos and other signature details are possible, making structural parts more aesthetically appealing.

A high-quality appearance, lightness, robustness, versatile processing options and recyclability: The combination of these advantages makes Maezio® an innovation in a whole range of applications, including automotive and transportation, electrical and electronics, sports and leisure, and consumer products.
