• Lightweight reinforcement that combines both structure
and flexibility
• Corrosion and moisture resistant
• Consistent, durable performance
• Provided structural integrity with strong yet
flexible composite materials
• Prevented rot and corrosion in a waterproof
core layer
• Added fatigue and stress resistance for
reliable performance and long product life
• Simplified manufacturing with consolidated
material, reducing VOCs and labor intensive
composite lay-up assembly

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.
THE IMPACT
The injection-overmolded Polystrand composite
construction in Rome’s Black Label binding is the first of
its kind in the industry.

The benefits
of using long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) composites
in these automotive applications to achieve these
objectives are well documented.
Furthermore,
LFT composites are injection-moldable, providing a
highly repeatable process that increases production
efficiency and reduces scrap.
Our long fiber composites offer an
excellent opportunity for automotive aftermarket
designers to enhance their components’
performance, aesthetics, and sustainability.
https://www.avient.com/products/long-fiber-technology/long-vs-short-fiber
Fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites offer many advantages over metals when it comes to part design.
Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics.

Our customers are looking for sustainable thermoplastic composite materials that are tougher, stronger, and lighter to accelerate their products from concept to production,” said Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for PolyOne.
