Advanced Composites Explained Polystrand Nonwoven/Composite Panels for vehicle interiors  Thermoset Advanced Composites Product Selection Guide

PRNewswire/ -- PolyOne has announced it will unveil Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels at the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX) in Beyond weight reduction, Hammerhead panels can accelerate installation and labor productivity because they replace the typical wood, hand lay-up and vacuum assisted process with a consolidated, ready-to-install panel. The Hammerhead panels represent the latest technology introduced by PolyOne Advanced Composites. 

POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Tapes, Laminates & Panels Polystrand™ high performance composite tapes and laminates are made by combining thermoplastic polymers and continuous fibers to create continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites. Polystrand composite panels are made with continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets thermally bonded or adhered to traditional core materials such as honeycomb, foam, aluminum, and nonwovens as reinforcement. Standard and custom tapes, laminates, and panels are available in a variety of combinations of matrix resin systems including PP, PE, PETG, aPET, and PA6, and include fiber reinforcements such as E-Glass and S-Glass.
