Recent areas of focus for our M&A strategy have concentrated in our Engineered Materials and Global Color, Additives and Inks segments, including the creation of PolyOne Advanced Composites through the acquisition of five leading composite businesses. Meanwhile, our purchases of Polystrand and Fiber-Line tout technological expertise that is poised for the next-generation of sustainability demands as well, with thermoplastic composite innovation and materials solutions that enable the build-out of 5G fiber optic cable infrastructure. And because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials are more easily recycled compared to thermoset materials.

Fiberglass is produced into several forms and utilized in a vast array of composite and industrial applications. Composition Large furnaces are used to melt silica sand, limestone, and various other minerals to liquid form. The liquid is then extruded through bushings and are coated (sized) to help bundle the filaments and prepare the fibers for composite resin interface.
