Enabling Precision: Slit and Spooled Prepreg UD Tapes for AFP and Filament Winding
Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) and filament winding are enabling major advances in composite manufacturing, from lightweight hydrogen storage systems to aerospace and satellite structures. However, these processes require absolute consistency, and that begins with the tape. When it comes to prepreg unidirectional (UD) tapes, precision slitting and reliable spooling are essential. At Bindatex, we work […]
Bindatex’s Precision Slitting Expertise Powers Innovation in Type V Hydrogen Storage Tanks
Bindatex Advanced Materials Cutting collaborated with the National Composites Centre (NCC). The innovative project involves Thales Alenia Space and SHD Composites Materials. This project demonstrated the feasibility of the UK manufacturing supply chain in producing all-composite linerless (Type-V) tanks for space applications. These tanks, aimed at launch vehicles and satellite propellant systems, offer approximately 30% […]
Nonwoven slitting: expanded capacity and industry-leading delivery
We are increasing our capacity for slitting nonwovens while continuing to deliver industry-leading turnaround times. We can put enquiries into production within two days if required. compared to the industry norm of weeks. As cutting specialists, we easily achieve the narrow slitting widths that can be required by the nonwovens industry. We commonly slit to […]
Innovate UK funding helps us expand 1mm composite slitting capability for new markets
We are pleased to announce we have been awarded an Innovate UK grant of almost £100,000 from the Sustainable Innovation Fund. The purpose of the grant is to support a critical six-month R&D project to further develop and upscale our highly innovative 1mm wide slitting capability for next generation composite parts manufacturing technology.
