IXIS^® Hybrid Thermoplastic Composite

The newest member of the AZDEL product portfolio is our hybrid thermoplastic composite material marketed under the IXIS trade name. This is a multi-layer composite utilizing our LWRT products as a core material and reinforced thermoplastic tapes on the outer surfaces. When processed using specific molding technologies, IXIS is capable of meeting automotive class A finishes, thus this material is primarily aimed at the vehicle exterior body panel market. However, IXIS sheets can be very easily formed into non-class A structural parts using special forming techniques.
