PROCESS OVERVIEW Polystrand™ advanced thermoplastic composites combine high strength, unidirectional, continuous fibers with engineered thermoplastic resins to create continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) materials that feature exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and high impact resistance.
Overmolding with Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites Processability Meets Performance Overmolding with Polystrand CFRTP can enhance the performance of traditional thermoplastics or enable metal replacement in a wide range of applications.
As illustrated here, molding with continuous fiber reinforced composites enables improved flexural performance over filled polypropylene as well as increased impact resistance and overall weight reduction.
