However, design flexibility is limited because, as thermosets, finished parts cannot be post-formed. Various forming processes and application examples of CFRTP materials will be explored later in this article. Secondary forming and methods for manufacturing complex geometries

The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.

The “cool factor” for tools such as knives, paddles or survival gear often comes in the form of edgy aesthetics or added functionality.

They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

During processing these longer fibers intertwine and align to form an internal fiber skeleton that strengthens the polymer to help carry and dissipate stress forces – greatly increasing strength and impact resistance. In conjunction with the advantages of organic design possibilities from the injection molding forming process, it is common to see a 40-50% weight reduction in applications when switching from metal incumbents (aluminum, magnesium).
