Deep draw composites and methods of using them

摘要

Composite materials effective for use in deep draw processes, which can be used to provide vehicle panels such as, for example, vehicle underbody panels. The composite comprises a fiber reinforced polymer core and a skin material disposed on at least some portion of the fiber reinforced polymer core, in which the skin material comprises a basis weight of at least 65 g/m2 and an elongation at break of at least 20%.
