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.

Finished Part
Increase strength and impact resistance.
With a single layer of
Polystrand CFRTP:
• Flexural strength
increases more than
60%
• Total energy
absorbed on impact
improves by nearly
35%
• Peak force at
puncture increases
over 58%
Increase strength and impact resistance.

Highlights:
• Bases and bleed barriers
• Improved durability and elongation
• Modifiers and additives include thickener, reducer, and matte additives to increase the productivity and improve the finish, and effect additives to achieve textured suede or high density (3D) effect
• RFU colors a palette of 14 RFU mixing color inks, including fluorescents and silver and gold metallic
• Special-effect inks add dimension and dazzling impact to any flat print
Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
