PRODUCT BULLETIN
PROCESSABILITY
MEETS PERFORMANCE
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.
