Composites are used in many different industries, from automotive to aerospace and from infrastructure to recreation. With this combination, you get the best of both worlds: strength from the fiber and the unique benefits from polymer, like fire resistance or chemical resistance. Organo sheets are another kind of laminate and can be made from carbon, glass, or aramid fiber fabrics. 

Anything you touch that feels like a soft plastic or has a rubbery surface can be made from TPEs—everything from a gearshift knob in your car and the handles on your power tools to medical tubing and syringe stoppers. Medical tubing made from TPE is likewise formulated from a medical grade that withstands various fluids without degrading. Additionally, automotive parts and devices made from TPE make vehicles lighter and more fuel efficient.
