Kraibon rubber
616B65 Kraibon rubber is a thin film made of non-cross-linked rubber that hardens jointly with the resin in the existing fabrication process. A composition of hard and soft material can be created, combining the favourable mechanical properties of fibre composites with the good elasticity of rubber.
The usual fabrication process for a fibre composite component remains unchanged. No additional bonding agents are needed.

Kraibon is a thin film of non-cross-linked rubber that cures together with the resin in the existing manufacturing process. A structure of hard and soft material can be achieved which combines the good mechanical properties of fibre composite plastics with the good "elastic" properties of rubber. The usual manufacturing process of a fibre composite component remains unchanged - no additional bonding agents are required.
This innovative technology is now also being used in orthopaedics and can be used, for example, to produce soft edges in orthoses. The drapability of the material allows it to be easily moulded to the component. It can be inserted and draped like prepreg. Different material thicknesses can be achieved by laying several layers.
