Two characteristics often used to compare the attributes of FRP materials are performance and design flexibility. The graph above shows the result of tensile load applied longitudinally to three laminate samples made with Polystrand™ continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in 2-, 4- and 6-ply configurations, illustrated below. In general, the more fiber used in the structure, the higher the performance.

In addition to color matching across different polymers, we can also match in plastic the color of other materials used in the appliance (e.g., painted parts) or in other products to achieve a homogeneous look across all product line items. Others, such as glossy metallic paint effects, do not only help increase appeal but offer more sustainable, VOC-free alternatives to paint and coatings. Recycled Content & Recyclability We offer color concentrates that use post-consumer recycled (PCR) polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) as carrier resin.

Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite replaced aluminum to provide better fatigue resistance and reduce weight Artisan™ high-gloss, metallic effect ABS formulation provided paint replacement solution to meet electronic applications needs Artisan™ high-gloss, pre-colored nylon (PA6) formulation provided paint replacement solution to meet brand needs

Because composites combine resins with different types of fiber reinforcement, and can be manufactured using a variety of processes, the possibilities are nearly endless. When are advanced composites used? Glass fiber-reinforced polyester is the most prevalent composite used in boats and ships while aramid fiber reinforcement is used in key areas of high-performance sailboats, such as the bow and keel sections. 

We rigorously assess the health, safety, and environmental impacts of our products across all stages of their life cycle—from the safe and responsible use of raw materials through product development and manufacturing, to end-use applications and beyond. This team plays a critical role in supporting both our product portfolio and our customers by ensuring the safe use and handling of our products. Through this data, we create safety data sheets and customer certification statements for intended use and product safety improvements.

material offerings to the highest levels on the performance spectrum of composites and engineered fibers." The ultra-lightweight specialty fiber is 15 times stronger than steel and is used in demanding applications such as ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, industrial protection and outdoor sports.  The Company uses both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
