ACG SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPS HIGH PERFORMANCE CARBON FIBRE COMPOSITE MTM59
Advanced Composites Group is proud to announce that it has successfully developed MTM®59, a revolutionary carbon fibre composite material that is set to benefit the medical sector.
MTM59, a 120°C curing matrix system, has been combined with a recent development from ACG to provide a high performance composite system in addition to enhanced clarity, which is required for X-ray tables and plates.
The development of this carbon fibre composite not only represents a new hallmark of quality, but beneath the clear surface lustre there can be far more serious and technically demanding aspects to these exciting materials. Composite materials offer high strength, stiffness and low weight, but in the medical world it is their transparency to X-rays that makes these materials so attractive.

Surface clarity can, through innovative resin chemistry, translate into through thickness clarity and high definition X-ray images.
Presently under trial with a number of European manufacturers, MTM59 will set the standards for the construction of future medical imaging equipment. |

Jon Mabbitt, Managing Director of ACG said: "We are constantly exploring new avenues for our innovative new products to service the growing needs of our customers. Until now there has never been a product like MTM59, and we believe it will prove vital to medical equipment manufacturers the world over.
