Project 12 says it is delighted to be working closely with Total Composite Solutions (TCS), the UK partner of Microtex SRL, on key automotive OEM projects for bespoke carbon parts.

Microtex X4-160 clear cosmetic prepreg stands out because of its superior clarity and high TG (160°C) which is said to exceed other traditional materials. This prepreg, along with Project 12’s pioneering coating and understanding of the carbon fibre substrate surface structure, provide clear advantages for leading automotive brands.

“The outstanding quality of the X4-160 prepreg combined with Project 12’s exceptional carbon fibre finishing technology adds real value to end users, so much so that we are keen to promote this winning world class combination to the wider market. Customisation, one-offs and coloured carbons are all possible,” said Dave King, managing director of Project 12.

Michael Stevenson, commercial director of TCS, added: “X4-160 is gaining popularity within the industry due to its clarity, free resin and high TG, enabling flexibility of design application both internally and externally within the vehicle. Teaming with Project 12 provides customers with both our advanced composite solutions-based service and expertise, along with Project 12’s meticulous attention to detail and technical excellence.”

TCS offers a wide range of automotive prepreg systems and full support solutions, including X4 -160 from UK stock.
