Impact Increases impact protection High quality aesthetic surface finish

PROCESS OVERVIEW 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. Injection Moldable Polymer CFRTP Blank Auxiliary Heater Overmolded Finished Part Increase strength and impact resistance. With a single layer of Polystrand CFRTP: • Flexural strength increases more than 60% • Total energy absorbed on impact improves by nearly 35% • Peak force at puncture increases over 58% Increase strength and impact resistance.
