Lightweighting formulation for layered, metal-laminated sidewall panels Optimized metallic effect in automotive bumper

Reduced component complexity compared to metal CRTM™ Composite Sandwich Panels reduced component complexity compared to metal for door panel on rail car

The new grades are also suitable for electroplating, which delivers the look and feel of metal, making them a suitable choice for bottled alcohol and cosmetic caps and closures.   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

Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products. 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. With ElectriPlast's Flexible Content Technology (FCT), the percentage and kind of metal fibers can be tailored to meet each OEM's specifications.

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  

Metal armoring is utilized within the cable structure to protect against cracking; however, as environmental temperatures fluctuate, the armoring and other cable materials expand and contract at different ratios, further increasing the risk of cracking. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which improves fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduces the carbon footprint
