ampliTex™-PP
Thermoplastic natural fibre prepregs
Thermoplastic Natural Fibre Prepregs for Large-Scale Applications
ampliTex™-PP can replace petrol-based materials, such as IMPP or traditional cover materials that are often found in large-scale applications. It is compatible with standard production methods and, as a readily available drop-in solution, can simply be used in a traditional injection moulding tool to create a high-end part with a supreme visual quality directly from a one-step-process. When used for compression moulding in combination with NFPP, ampliTex™ has significant weight reduction capabilities vs. standard IMPP parts while providing a one-step production process that yields a high-end surface straight out of the tool.
Sustainable design
With a variety of weave and colour options, ampliTex™-PP is guaranteed to fulfil your wishes for sustainable design options. And with the possibility to completely customise and tailor our beautiful natural fibre composites to customer needs, your imagination is the only limit between you and the future of sustainable design.

Related Manufacturing Processes
We have collaborated closely with industry leaders from different markets to help them work with our natural fibre composite solutions in the best possible way and optimise our products for the most efficient and widely used production processes.
Compression Moulding
For years, we have worked closely with leading OEMs and Tier 1s to assure that our natural fibre solutions are compatible with efficient compression moulding processes. Our thermoplastic ampliTex™-PP technology pairs with a layer of NFPP to efficiently create very light yet stiff components from a recyclable mono-material. ampliTex™-PP allows you to achieve a highly customisable appearance with a stunning natural aesthetic, or can be combined with any standard cover material if desired. The powerRibs™-PP reinforcement grid can be added to a layup to further boost stiffness and reduce weight even more. Our thermoplastic ampliTex™-PP solution has been validated by leading OEM groups for both UV and scratch resistance.
You need to efficiently produce large series of lightweight and sustainable components? Then look no further than our ampliTex™-PP and powerRibs™-PP solutions.

Back-Injection Moulding
As a readily available drop-in solution, ampliTex™-PP can be used in a traditional back-injection moulding production – one of the most wide-spread processes – to create high-end parts with supreme visual quality directly from a one-step-process. Thanks to the customisability of ampliTex™, different aesthetic surfaces can be achieved from a single existing tool. Therefore, ampliTex™-PP offers design freedom and ease of implementation in a back-injection moulding process. Furthermore, ampliTex™-PP has passed the strict UV & scratch resistance specifications of several OEMs and, unlike many other materials, does not need any additional coating.
Related applications
Flax fibre quality
The flax fibre quality, yarn thickness and twist are all highly engineered for optimal mechanical properties in the final composite part. Our ampliTex™-PP thermoplastic prepregs come pre-impregnated with polypropylene which makes them a ready-to-use thermoplastic material. We use European flax and the fibremix is thoroughly controlled for consistent quality over time.
