Advanced Composites Explained Replacing Aluminum with Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) Key factors and comparisons to consider when replacing aluminum with long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (LFT); including processing and material performance summaries

CRTM™ (continuous resin transfer molding) panels are high quality composite sandwich panels with tailored, multi-axial fiber reinforcements, high-fiber volume contents and very low void content. Laminate skin face-sheets are also available with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins. Curious about composites?

Avient Thermoplastic Tapes Engineered or unidirectional fibers are combined with thermoplastic resins to create continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide superior strength-to-weight ratio and high performance for reinforcement across a broad range of applications. POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC TAPES STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT, LIGHTWEIGHT Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous fiber composites offer reduced weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance. Engineered Fiber Thermoplastic Tapes provide excellent strength-to-weight and creep resistance suitable for demanding composite applications.
