Complēt™ REC
Long Fiber Reinforced Composites Incorporating Recycled Resin
The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber
reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer
recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial
recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU) resin.
With a high strength-to-weight ratio, Complēt REC
long fiber composites can be deployed as an
alternative to metals to obtain valuable weight
reductions.

GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer
(FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping
power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of
being lightweight and portable.
They are constructed
from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements
combined with a proprietary resin system in a
continuous pultrusion manufacturing process.
The
composite material is 25% the weight of comparable
steel structures, and also weighs significantly less than
concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.
