CASE STUDY: PLASTICOMP™ COMPLĒT™ LONG FIBER REINFORCED STRUCTURAL THERMOPLASTICS Challe nge Accepted. Their pursuit led them to carbon fiber composites and, subsequently, to Avient, a leading supplier of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and technologies. The resulting Frog Legs casters, crafted with fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, are an astounding 33% (280g) lighter than the conventional aluminum casters.

Our TPE solutions add soft touch elements that provide better grip and ergonomics to enhance consumer experience when opening and dispensing your product. Protect your sensitive sun care formulas with UV additives, and keep your actuator buttons performing longer with chemically resistant TPE materials.
