CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES REDUCE WEIGHT, ADD STRENGTH TO INDUSTRY-FIRST SNOWBOARD BINDINGS Discover how Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics can add lightweight strength and durability to your application. Incorporating composite materials in snowboard bindings is not a new concept. Injection overmolding with thermoplastic composite laminates combines the advantages of injection molding—the ability to create complex shapes and fast cycle times—with the lightweight strength and durability of continuous fiber reinforcement.
