Thermoplastics are viscoelastic materials.
Rigid thermoplastic structures are overmoldable with softer thermoplastic elastomers to improve ergonomics or add additional impact protection.
Color incorporated into the plastic matrix can eliminate secondary painting and finishing operations that produce undesirable VOC emissions.

POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES
Tapes, Laminates & Panels
Polystrand™ high performance composite
tapes and laminates are made by combining
thermoplastic polymers and continuous fibers to
create continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic
(CFRTP) composites.
The material is recyclable and can be incorporated
back into traditional thermoplastic products and
processes.
We offer
unidirectionally reinforced barstock, laminates,
and hybrid composites engineered to maximize
deflection and fatigue resistance in customizable
shapes and sizes.

Masterbatch approach eliminates added cost, chemical volatility of painting
After molding, the parts had to be cleaned, primed, painted and clear coated – with three rounds of drying in between.
Cost reduction: Overall improvement in material cost performance versus painted ABS.
