Repurchased 3.0 million shares and increased annual dividend for sixth consecutive year, while continuing to invest in innovation and commercial resources Gordon Composites and Polystrand), Comptek and SilCoTec.  These include new thermoset and thermoplastic composites, which represent the next frontier in lightweighting technology, thermoplastic elastomer adhesives and protective films. 

American Composites Manufacturers Association The American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) is the world’s largest composites industry trade group, driven to make composites the sustainable material of preference. This goal will drive energy savings and reinforce our leadership in efficiency, strengthening competitiveness.

Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) offer benefits to design engineers seeking a material that provides exceptional strength, yet requires lightweight properties. DESIGN SUPPORT Designing your application for long fiber thermoplastics, regardless of material familiarity, requires an assessment of a wide array of inputs to achieve the optimal geometry. With these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with recommending the following characteristics that make up your customized solution: • Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene, rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc.) • Fiber selection (i.e., glass, carbon, etc.) • Fiber reinforcement percentage (ranging from 20–70% fiber content, by weight) • Additive technologies (color, UV enhancement, flame retardancy, heat stabilization, etc.)

Complēt™ Moisture Resistant Nylons Environmentally Stabilized Nylon 6 and 6/6 Long Fiber Composites Standard nylon 6 and 6/6 materials are a widely deployed class of entry-level engineering polymers that readily accept fiber reinforcement to provide a good mix of mechanical properties at an economical price point. LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE AESTHETICS Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain without high mold temperatures that lengthen cycle times. Complēt moisture resistant nylons reinforced with long glass fiber produce a smooth, fiber-free finish without special processing to give molded components a high-quality appearance.
