Unlike metal, thermoplastics can also be molded into complex shapes that fit tight spaces.
With thermoplastic parts, there is rarely a need for secondary processing steps such as coating, welding, drilling or painting.

Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
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.

The new formulations can use varying levels for post-industrial recycled content – from 25% to 100% recycled content for polyamide 66 (PA66) and from 25% to 75% recycled content for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
Formulations are available globally in black and natural color and in typical reinforcement percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations.

Game changing concentrates for polymer parts create a metallic surface finish that truly mimics paint while eliminating the painting process.
Our customers across multiple industries have been looking for a paint-free solution with no tradeoffs, which drove us to develop this new masterbatch.
When molded into plastic parts, manufacturers can eliminate painting and its associated processing steps for lower cost and longer-lasting, highly reflective surfaces.”
