A new range of liquid thermoplastic resins (LTP), marketed under the trade name Elium<sup>®</sup>, have been introduced for the production of thermoplastic composites reinforced by continuous glass, carbon or natural fibers. The LTP, when combined with peroxide initiators, have the advantage of being processable using traditional thermoset resin techniques (RTM, infusion, Flex-molding) and can be processed at both room and elevated temperatures. The final products have mechanical performances comparable to epoxy parts, however, they have the distinct of advantages of being thermformable, weldable and recyclable. Applications include automotive/transportation industries as well as wind power, athletic equipment and the building sector.
