Design engineers know that when high strength-to-weight ratio is required, fiber reinforced polymer FRP) composites are the material of choice. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. Long and short fiber reinforced thermoplastics are well suited for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios as well as complex part geometries, such as automotive components and sporting goods.

Therma-Tech™ provided lighter weight solutions with required thermal conductivity for automotive light heat sinks Gravi-Tech formulations meet acoustic performance test and reduce weight in ear defenders. 

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites provide superior ballistic protection at considerably less weight than comparable steel or concrete panels. All our panels are designed to retain projectiles and fragments at less weight than incumbent materials, with the additional benefits of corrosion resistance and electrical non-conductivity.

Nominal Weight These panels are designed and customized to maximize performance and minimize weight.

Uncover how localized reinforcement can reduce weight and improve performance Heat transfer capabilities of metal with design freedom and weight reduction of engineered polymers

Collaborating with PolyOne enabled Akboru Elektrik to make a transition from metal to polymer that increased the expected useful lifetime of the lights by 200 percent, supporting the company’s goals to reduce part weight and improve manufacturing and logistics efficiency. The manufacturer estimates the switch to this polymer tripled the LED lighting products’ useful life and reduced part weight by 50%.

Fiber-Line™ Engineered Fiber Solutions are high-performing synthetic fibers that can be color-coated, add strength, reduce cable weight or diameter, replace metal in the most demanding wire and cable applications, provide water-blocking capability in dry cable applications, and are developed for optimal rip performance in cable jacketing and armor   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

This highly engineered, filled thermoplastic polymer replaces metal in electromagnetic and radio-frequency (EMI/RFI) shielding applications at up to 60 percent lighter weight. Its core material, ElectriPlast®, is an electrically conductive resin-based material whose properties allow it to be molded into infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics and rubbers, while reducing component weight by 40 to 60%.
