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.
Mold to compress and
cool into shape
CFRTP is preheated and
inserted into tool

OFF-ROAD VEHICLES
Skid plates, doors, seat
structures, exterior
panels & moldings
Traditionally, molding with short and long
glass-filled polypropylene to gain flexural
performance over unfilled polypropylene
also results in a loss of impact resistance.
