High performance carbon/PEEK tape

There are also TP equivalents, such as high performance carbon/PEEK tapes, in which continuous filament and matrix have been closely combined by a form of pultrusion process and require only placing in position (often by winding or layering) and heating, to fuse the TP matrix. Technology extending the principle to continuous filament and PP matrices is also available. 

This process offers a method of producing more predictable laminated structures, for high performance applications. Prepreg tapes are mainly made of the higher performance materials, such as epoxy/carbon or PEEK/carbon. This system can also be used in filament winding.
