Abstract (EN): A new thermoplastic polymer for highly demanding applications (Primospire (R) PR 120) was studied in this work. The relevant properties of the polymer were determined and a new piece of prototype powder coating equipment was designed and built to produce carbon fibre reinforced Primospire matrix towpregs. The towpregs were subsequently processed by compression moulding into final composite plates that were used to determine mechanical properties. Although significantly below from the theoretical expected ones, those properties were adequate for advanced composite applications.
