Want to learn more about the differences between thermosets and thermoplastics?
Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are produced by pulling continuous glass rovings through thermoplastic resin to impregnate the fibers and form a unidirectional tape.
This single-ply tape can be layered to form multi-axial laminate sheets and rolls by stacking layers of tape in varying directions and applying heat and pressure.

Thermoplastics are viscoelastic materials.
Rigid thermoplastic structures are overmoldable with softer thermoplastic elastomers to improve ergonomics or add additional impact protection.
As a melt processable material, thermoplastics are reformable and recyclable.
