	What is AtenPly prepreg? AtenPly Prepregs are thin sheets of continuous reinforcement fibres impregnated with thermoplastic resin. It is made direct from the fibre roving and thermoplastic melt using proprietary technology developed by Imhotep Ltd. This cost– effective efficient process produces light weight, high-strength ,well impregnated, smooth tape with unidirectional fibre reinforcement. AtenPly varieties and options AtenPly can be made using any continuous fibres such as most types of carbon, glass, and/or aramid. AtenPly can be made using a wide variety of thermoplastic matrices from Polypropylene, polyethylene, and other commodity plastics through engineering plastics such as PET, polyamides. Through to high performance plastics such as PEEK, and PPS as well as elastomers. AtenPly can incorporate Colours, UV stabilisers, coupling agents and many other additives. AtenPly is made to standard widths and thicknesses but other sizes are available on request.
	Importance of impregnation High performance applications demand a high quality prepreg with a high degree of impregnation. AtenPly has such good impregnation that this glass/PP AtenPly prepreg can be read through. The high impregnation allows low pressure moulding giving greater processing flexibility.
	Standard AtenPly Prepreg Grades Imhotep Ltd are in the process of producing a number of standard grades: AtenPly GPP45- Glass Fibre/Polypropylene prepreg in a variety of colours AtenPlyCPEEK50 -Carbon Fibre/PEEK available in black AtenPlyGPE45-Glass Fibre/Polyethylene prepreg in a variety of colours Glass/PEEK and Glass/PET coming soon. AtenPly Made To Order AtenPly can be made with an incredible variety of combinations of fibre, thermoplastic matrix, and additions . If you need a different width, a specific colour, a different fibre volume fraction, a specific polymer grade, with a special additive then contact us for a quotation today. In addition to the standard grades above we have produced many other varieties including carbon/polycaprolactone carbon/elastomer, glass/nylon amongst many others. Processing of AtenPly  AtenPly is processed by heating above the melting point of the matrix and consolidating with pressure. Since there is no chemical reaction there are no emissions of volatiles. The high level of impregnation in the prepreg allows low pressure moulding for high performance products giving greater processing flexibility.
