Fiber composites, more commonly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, are polymer materials that have been reinforced with fiber. What are some common applications for polymer composites? Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites.

A compounding extruder connected to the impregnation die functions as a melt pump feeding molten thermoplastic polymer into the process.  Instead of simply coating fiber tows with polymer – inside PlastiComp’s impregnation die individual filaments in the fiber tows are spread apart so each is encapsulated with thermoplastic polymer.  This fiber to polymer bond is key to obtaining optimum performance and having a true composite material.
