It is often used in thermoset and thermoplastic composite applications where the fiber is used as reinforcement.
The liquid is then extruded through bushings and are coated (sized) to help bundle the filaments and prepare the fibers for composite resin interface.

PROCESS OVERVIEW
Polystrand™ advanced thermoplastic composites
combine high strength, unidirectional, continuous
fibers with engineered thermoplastic resins to create
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP)
materials that feature exceptional strength-to-weight
ratio and high impact resistance.
Overmolding with Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber
Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
Processability Meets Performance
Overmolding with Polystrand
CFRTP can enhance the
performance of traditional
thermoplastics or enable metal
replacement in a wide range of
applications.
As illustrated here, molding with continuous
fiber reinforced composites enables
improved flexural performance over filled
polypropylene as well as increased impact
resistance and overall weight reduction.
