In contrast, MPS shelters are lightweight, portable and can be constructed in hours, rather than days, allowing soldiers to quickly deploy and establish positions of relative safety – even in remote locations.
Today, these systems are used by soldiers when constructing blast resistant mortar pits, shelters, and guard towers in combat outposts.

Move Over Metal
Composites for Lightweighting, Reinforcing, and Replacing Metal
in Automotive Applications
APPLICATION BULLETIN
Composites offer higher strength-to-weight ratios
exceeding the structural performance of traditional
materials while significantly reducing weight—up
to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter
than aluminum.
Polystrand composite panels are made with
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic face
sheets thermally bonded or adhered to traditional
core materials such as honeycomb, foam,
aluminum, and nonwovens as reinforcement.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Superior strength-to-weight ratio
• Exceptional mechanical performance—
consistent and repeatable
• Deep deflection
• Corrosion resistance
• High fatigue resistance & tensile strength
• Excellent interlaminar shear strength
• Lighter weight than steel
• High modulus of elasticity
• High temperature performance
• Low VOCs
VALUE SOLUTION
• Ideal in applications where high stiffness and
light weight performance are critical
• Replacement of metal, wood, and other less
efficient materials in order to improve overall
product performance while reducing weight,
cost, and complexity
• Part consolidation
• Simplified assembly
• A good choice for constant cross-section
profiles
• Laminates available in continuous lengths
• Specialty surface treatments available to
improve bonding
• Full machining capabilities (surface
modification, drilling, shaping, waterjet, etc.)
• Custom sizes, profiles, tooling design, and
prototyping available for specific applications
• Hollow profiles
USES & APPLICATIONS
• Hybrid body in white components
• Structural mounting
• Stress contoured leaf (elliptical, semi-elliptical,
and cantilever) suspension springs

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-01/Glasforms Dowel Bar Application Overview.pdf
Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel bars
offer advantages over traditional steel or epoxy-
coated steel bars:
• Electromagnetic transparency: ideal for high-
speed toll roads to prevent interference
• Corrosion resistance: the GFRP material
will not rust or corrode in salt or alkaline
environments
• Light weight: less than one-third the weight
of steel
• Does not bond to concrete: eliminates
the need for sleeves or grease to allow for
expansion and contraction
Glasforms™ composite dowel bars are tested and
approved to meet the following requirements:
• ASTM 1356 Glass Transition Temperature
• ASTM D570 Water Absorption
• ASTM 2344 Short Beam Strength
• ASTM 7617 Transverse Shear Strength
Glasforms™ Composite Dowel Bars
for Concrete Pavement Construction
