Curv® is a self-reinforced polypropylene (SRPP) composite — a weave of stretched/tensilized polypropylene strands, compacted in multiple layers under heat and pressure. The result is a sheet with the impact resistance of a fiber-reinforced composite, made from a single recyclable polymer.
The Technology
Engineered with Curv® Composite
A self-reinforced polypropylene composite — originally developed for automotive and aerospace — re-engineered to protect your RV from tire blowout damage.
The Science
What is Curv®?
Unlike steel, Curv® won't rust. Unlike plastic sheeting, it won't crack in cold or warp in heat. And unlike fiberglass, it's 100% recyclable. In independent abrasion testing simulating a tire blowout at 70 mph, 2 mm Curv® matched aluminum performance — at significantly lower weight.
