THE PRODUCT

WHAT IS CURV®
COMPOSITE MATERIAL?

Curv® is the world’s first self-reinforced, 100% thermoplastic composite material. It is made of heat-compacted woven polymer fibers and requires no additional support structure to maintain it’s strength or impact resistance.

BENEFITS

BENEFITS OF CURV

CURV’s unique composition makes it desirable among manufacturers looking for a material that is strong, lightweight and straightforward to process.

IMPACT STRENGTH

CURV has unique high impact strength does not crack or fatigue and is extremely durable

LIGHTWEIGHT

CURV has high stiffness and low density enabling significant weight savings when replacing traditional plastics and composites

RECYCLABLE

CURV is pure thermoplastic, does not contain glass fiber and is easy to recycle

COLD RESISTANT

CURV has increased impact and crack resistance at freezing temperatures making it superior for cold weather applications

INERT

CURV is chemically inert and impervious to most solvents and cleaning agents.

AESTHETIC

CURV can be customized to fit your brand and is available in a variety of colors, surface finishes and design patterns

HOW IT COMPARES

IMPACT TEST COMPARISONS

CURV’s unique structure allows it to absorb large amounts of energy without permanent deformation. Compared to typical plastics, metals and composite materials, CURV can take impact without failure or deformation at lower thicknesses allowing weight and cost reduction. It excels in applications that require low weight and high impact strength.
