However, long-fiber thermoplastic (LFT) technology addresses these concerns, bridging the gap between short-fiber reinforced formulations and over-engineered materials.
Specifically, LFTs demonstrate excellent impact performance even at high levels of stiffness, and these materials exhibit low creep compared to their short-fiber counterparts.
Electrically conductive and static dissipative materials can provide the necessary protection without the weight and design constraints of traditional metal components.

Take a comprehensive look at the performance and sustainability benefits of this next-gen material solution.
In the current industrial landscape, fluctuations in nylon supply and the increasing demand for sustainability commitments and materials highlight the growing need for viable alternatives.
Polyketone material characteristics and benefits

Historically, plywood and other materials have been used as structural panels across a variety of industries.
However, as sustainability initiatives grow and designs become increasingly complex, new material alternatives are needed.
They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.

The multi-material composition allows the design engineer to select skins and cores that are best suited for the application.
Performance and weight must be thoughtfully balanced, as a primary advantage of thermoplastic composite panels is greater strength-to-weight ratio than traditional panel materials.

Using Polystrand materials extended the life of truck trailers and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.
The solution increased loading per square foot and provided a moisture and debris barrier, and because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials can be more easily recycled compared to alternative materials.
