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 integrates Polystrand tapes and multi- ply laminates into traditional thermoplastic molding processes, such as injection and compression molding, to create locally-reinforced, molded components. 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.

You may see us use both terms, MSDS and SDS, as GHS becomes more familiar in all of our global market. THERMOPLAST RED FK 3602 PRIMARIES Shipment Notification - under "Material Header" MSDS - labeled as the "Product Number" (in Section 1)

OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers Solutions for Automotive Applications To keep up with industry demands, regulatory challenges and end-user preferences, it’s imperative to consider the influence of material specifications at the beginning of the product development cycle. Known for offering tight seals and reducing vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited for your particular application than the historically incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO).

A good example of translucency is stained glass, as opposed to smoked glass (transparent) and painted glass (opaque).

There was an outpouring of support for this activity among the teams as dozens of associates rushed to participate, performing various tasks to help refurbish the community center, such as planting, cutting grass, and painting the children’s playground.
