They can be used alone or in conjunction with other materials such as thermoplastics, wood, and metal, and manufactured with techniques such as overmolding, coextrusion, and thermal lamination to incorporate CFRTP tapes and laminates into hybrid, multi-material structures. A video demonstration of compression molding using Avient’s Polystrand CFRTP material can be viewed here. Consumer: Sporting goods and protective equipment, furniture and electronics 

PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Enhances resistance to scratching, abrasion, and surface blemishes • Keeps products looking newer, longer • Improves perceived quality • Provides a reduction in surface friction and in sticking between parts • Tested and proven compatible across a wide range of polymers and processes—especially successful with polyolefins MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Cesa Scratch & Mar Resistance Additives give the extra protection needed for many applications, including those that experience daily surface abrasion. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
