Injection molded long fiber composites deliver
comparable performance characteristics to
metals and offer excellent strength-to-weight
ratios.
Additionally, composites are inherently
corrosion-resistant and can be specifically tailored
to performance requirements and cost targets.
HOW SUPPLIERS CAN HELP EVALUATE
MATERIAL TRANSITION
Successfully using composites goes beyond simply
swapping one material for another.
