CFRT – Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic
Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRT) laminate sheets are an advanced lightweight composite material. Continuous fibers are combined with thermoplastic resins to create durable, lightweight and durable prepreg tapes, which are then thermal laminated together at set angles to form CFRT sheets with improved performance.
CFRT – Thermosetting FRP Alternative
- Lightweight.
- High modulus.
- Durable.
- Recyclable.
- Low-cost.
The purpose of developing CFRT sheets is to replace some applications of thermosetting FRP sheets, achieve better performance and reduce manufacturing costs, and achieve better economic benefits and environmental protection. CFRT laminate sheets are known for their excellent mechanical properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, good impact resistance, and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and chemicals. In addition, unlike thermosetting plastics that cannot be reused, as a thermoplastic composite material, CFRT is recyclable, reducing material waste and contributing to the sustainable development of the economy.
Type of CFRT Sandwich Panels
CFRT sheets can be combined with different types of core materials (plywood, polypropylene honeycomb, foam, etc.) through adhesives or thermoplastic composite technology to form high-performance composite panels. These composite panels have excellent mechanical properties and structural stability and are widely used in aerospace, automotive, construction and other fields.
Composite Methods of CFRT Sandwich Panels
Adhesive Bonding
Just like the processing method of thermosetting FRP sandwich panels, CFRT sheets can be bonded with materials of different systems by relying on strong adhesives. The skin and core materials are bonded together with glue, and then pressure is applied to fix the panel for a period of time before it is formed.
Thermal Composite
Thermal lamination is primarily used for laminating thermoplastic materials, where the CFRT sheets and core material are melted and fused together by heating. Compared to adhesive bonding, this method provides a more efficient production process, resulting in a stronger, more secure bond with higher resistance to cracking.

Applications and Advantages
Box Truck Bodies & Box Trailers
CFRT sandwich panels have a wide range of application prospects for box truck bodies, especially in refrigerated trucks and dry cargo truck bodies. Using CFRT sandwich panels can not only reduce the weight of the vehicle body, but also significantly improve the structural strength and durability.
RV Bodies
As an alternative to thermosetting FRP sandwich panels, CFRT sandwich panels provide a new option for RV manufacturers, especially with unique advantages in improving RV performance, reducing weight, improving durability and environmental protection.
Building Materials
Honeycomb core CFRT sandwich panels are replacing wood and metal in building materials, offering a lighter and more durable alternative. This is particularly true in applications requiring temporary load-bearing, frequent movement, and outdoor exposure. Typical applications include scaffolding, temporary stages, ramps, and stairways.
