Eliminates the need for additional sheets or coatings to achieve specific
FR performance
• Reduction of labor costs and assembly time as paintable panels come
ready to install
• No need to stop other construction projects while assembling FR panels
(most coatings require a delay until they dry and cure before construction
can resume)
Gamechanger
FR COMPOSITE PANELS
Lightweight/Durable: By replacing heavy materials with these panels, builders
can reduce structural weight without compromising integrity.
FR COMPOSITE PANELS
Our Hammerhead FR composite panels consist of specially formulated
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) sheets bonded to a
thermoplastic foam core.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Amounts invested in our
foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.
These undiscounted amounts are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities
and Other non-current liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
