Fiber reinforced polymer composites are exceptional alternatives to traditional materials such as wood, ceramic, and metal, enabling designers to create lighter weight structural components for increased lifetime performance, and improved fuel efficiency. 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. The Glasforms continuous, automated pultrusion manufacturing process creates constant cross section profiles of any pre-determined length with consistent, uniform quality, and exceptional mechanical performance.
