About this presentation

Metol L td have developed a unique low molecular weight thermoplastic polymer\, ba sed on PBT\, for the production of composite stru ctures such as wind turbine blades\, boats pipes and pu ltrusions etc. This unique thermoplastic oligomer\, MET-OL™\, mel ts at 140C into a water-like fluid which aids the impregnation of dense fi bre reinforcements. After impregnation the low mo lecular weight oligomer is polymerised in-situ with the resulting thermopl astic composite exhibiting excellent mechanical properties comparable to c onventional epoxy and polyester based composites.

&nbs p\;

The beauty of this thermoplastic oligomer is that at the end of the components life\, the polymer and reinforc ements can be readily separated\, using solvolysis technology\, and the ma terials re-used in other applications. A truly circular approach to use an d re-use of thermoplastic composite materials.
