Advanced Composites Explained Footwear Insert White Paper: Thermoplastic Composite Sandwich Panels

Key applications for this material are within the automotive sector including parts such as UTH covers, panels and inserts, fans and air management systems, battery trays, roofing systems and interior and exterior components.

Polystrand™ panels are featured in all-composite medium-duty trucks and trailers that reduce weight by 45 percent versus traditional materials and are completely recyclable. Hammerhead™ marine composite panels reduce weight and increase durability versus wood in structural boat-building components, such as stringers and subfloors. Glasforms™ CRTM™ composite panels replace steel doors on railcar auto carriers, saving up to 300 lb. per railcar.
