Avient Thermoplastic Tapes Engineered or unidirectional fibers are combined with thermoplastic resins to create continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide superior strength-to-weight ratio and high performance for reinforcement across a broad range of applications. POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC TAPES STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT, LIGHTWEIGHT Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous fiber composites offer reduced weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance. Engineered Fiber Thermoplastic Tapes provide excellent strength-to-weight and creep resistance suitable for demanding composite applications.

Thermoplastic Composite Innovation Cell Injection and Compression Overmolding HARNESS THE VERSATILITY Are you working on a project that would benefit from added reinforcement, reduced weight, material reduction or part consolidation? Our application development, engineering and industrial design teams can help you to: • Increase stiffness • Improve impact resistance • Reduce weight through thin-walling and material reduction or replacement • Add strength in high stress areas Avient’s thermoplastic composite innovation cell in Englewood, CO features injection and compression molding equipment as well as design and testing services, all under one roof. Through injection or compression overmolding, composite tapes and multi- ply laminates are integrated into traditional thermoplastic molding processes to create locally-reinforced, molded components.
