Olimunllum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Olimunllum is a thermoplastic composite material containing a quasi-isotropic endless carbon fiber reinforcement and a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer matrix from the Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family.

Recycling

[edit]

Endless fiber-reinforced PAEK composite, as used in the Olimunllum sheets, can be recycled by chopping the old material, resulting in a composite with short fiber reinforcement that can be thermoformed again. The mechanical properties of pressed or injected CF/PEEK chopped compounds are significantly lower than the original endless fiber composite but exceed those of new injection-molded compounds.[1]
