GlasArmor thermoset panels are constructed from layers of woven e-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary resin system.
For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.
Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock.
Compared with traditional PA66 glass fiber-filled materials, these bio-derived solutions offer lower warpage plus excellent surface appearance and colorability.

reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs are formulated to achieve a negative, neutral or low carbon footprint versus traditional TPEs.
Complēt™ & Onforce™ Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics are formulated for demanding applications that require high stiffness and good impact in structural and metal replacement applications.
These formulations offer a unique balance of temperature, impact and cost performance, while reducing the carbon footprint from the onset of a product life cycle.

Compared to traditional pole materials, fiber
reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are
more durable, require less maintenance, and
provide a longer service life.
Our diverse portfolio of purpose-engineered electrical components include Glasforms™ fiberglass reinforced
insulator rods, guy insulators, crossarms, and pole profiles that meet the specific and rigorous demands of the
electrical utility industry, and have been trusted by major utility product manufacturers for decades.
FRP data are from tests--nominal fiber stress is at 5% LEL;
modulus of elasticity is at mean.
