RUSSCOMP® RTP
Russcomp® RTP has a wide application range, suitable for most sandwich-structured composite parts like X-Ray/CT tables, sports equipment, vehicles/high-speed railways, and floating/fishing kits.
Detailed introductions are as follows:
1. Medical Field: X-Ray/CT Tables
Medical examination tables have strict requirements for material density and stability: they need to be lightweight for easy position adjustment, while supporting patients’ weight without interfering with imaging. As the core material of sandwich structures, Russcomp® RTP is combined with carbon fiber panels to form table bodies. Its closed-cell structure ensures low density, reducing the overall weight of the table, lowering equipment drive load, and enabling smooth translation and lifting.
Additionally, the material has stable chemical properties, is non-magnetic, and does not interfere with the penetration of X-Ray/CT radiation, ensuring image clarity. Its high compression resistance prevents deformation even under long-term patient load, maintaining the table’s operational accuracy and extending equipment service life.
2. Sports Equipment Field
Many sports equipment require sufficient strength to withstand athletic impacts while being lightweight to enhance performance. For example:
High-end snowboards and surfboards adopt sandwich structures with Russcomp® RTP as the core material. It reduces equipment weight while dispersing impact forces during movement through its toughness, allowing athletes to maneuver flexibly and minimizing damage from collisions.
In the frame interlayers of badminton rackets and tennis rackets, the material optimizes weight distribution, improves force transmission efficiency during strikes, enhances frame deformation resistance, and extends equipment durability.
3. Transportation Field: Vehicles & High-Speed Railways
Civil Vehicles: In components such as new energy vehicle body frames and chassis guards, sandwich structures made with Russcomp® RTP achieve vehicle weight reduction, thereby lowering energy consumption and increasing driving range. Its excellent vibration resistance reduces the impact of road bumps on the vehicle body during driving, improving ride comfort, while corrosion resistance prevents component aging caused by rainwater and road salt.
High-Speed Railways: Suitable for interior partitions, luggage racks, and carriage floors of high-speed trains. The material’s lightweight property reduces the train’s overall weight, helping to increase operating speed and reduce energy consumption. Its good sound and heat insulation performance blocks external noise and temperature transfer, optimizing the in-car environment. Meanwhile, its high strength meets the structural stability requirements for high-speed trains operating at high frequency over the long term.
4. Marine Field: Floating & Fishing Equipment
Floating Equipment: Hull bodies of inflatable boats and small yachts use sandwich structures with Russcomp® RTP as the core material, significantly reducing hull weight, improving sailing speed and fuel efficiency. Its closed-cell structure offers strong water resistance, avoiding water absorption, weight gain, and corrosion from long-term water contact. Meanwhile, its impact resistance can handle wave impacts during navigation, reducing hull damage risks.
Fishing Equipment: In high-end fishing boats and floating platforms, the material’s lightweight design facilitates transportation and deployment. It maintains stable floating performance, easily supporting the weight of anglers and fishing gear. Additionally, its resistance to seawater and humid environments prevents rapid aging of equipment used in outdoor water areas, extending service life in harsh outdoor
conditions.
5.Lightweight Automotive Field
It has a wide range of applications and can meet the requirements of sandwich structures for automotive interior components such as instrument panels and steering wheel skeletons. Its lightweight feature can reduce the weight of the automotive interior system, improving fuel efficiency or driving range. Meanwhile, it has excellent mechanical properties, which can ensure the structural strength of the steering wheel while optimizing the grip feel and steering stability. Additionally, it can realize diverse shapes of interior components through composite processes, meeting the aesthetic and functional needs of automotive design.
