Glass fiber-reinforced polyester is the most prevalent composite used in boats and ships while aramid fiber reinforcement is used in key areas of high-performance sailboats, such as the bow and keel sections.  Glass fiber-reinforced composites are also used in other electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters, and pole line hardware. Organo sheets are another kind of laminate and can be made from carbon, glass, or aramid fiber fabrics. 

Below are two real-world examples to demonstrate the benefits of converting to long fiber composites in very practical terms. Offered long glass fiber thermoplastic with 3x the strength of incumbent short fiber material without a need for retooling Facilitated lightweighting with a 50% long glass fiber PA66 thermoplastic that matched the performance of the incumbent metal part
