HARNESS THE VERSATILITY
Are you working on a project that would benefit
from added reinforcement, reduced weight,
material reduction or part consolidation?
Our
application development, engineering and
industrial design teams can help you to:
• Increase stiffness
• Improve impact resistance
• Reduce weight through thin-walling and
material reduction or replacement
• Add strength in high stress areas
Avient’s thermoplastic composite innovation
cell in Englewood, CO features injection and
compression molding equipment as well as design
and testing services, all under one roof.
Through injection or compression
overmolding, composite tapes and multi-
ply laminates are integrated into traditional
thermoplastic molding processes to create
locally-reinforced, molded components.

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.
