Based on polymers such as polypropylene (PP), the new formulations also include a natural filler made from renewable plant sources that would otherwise go to waste.

The breadth of the materials includes Polystrand™ unidirectional tapes made with continuous glass fiber and an expanding variety of resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyketone (PK), polyamide (PA), and others, and Fiber-Line™ engineered fiber tapes, made using uniquely processed fibers including carbon, glass, and aramid.
