Polystrand™ R continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are made with a resin matrix of greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET).

Traditionally, Carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more.

Versaflex™ XP Wet Grip Thermoplastic Elastomer Typically, when TPEs get wet, the kinetic coefficient of friction (COF) performance is worse, resulting in a slippery surface.

Improve processability and reduce overall processing time – TPEs are easier to process than EPDM rubber and do not require drying like thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), leading to a decrease in processing time and costs.

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are an excellent solution.

Our thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are designed to suit both consumer desires and product needs, including softness, vivid color or extreme clarity, and robust physical properties.

These include new thermoset and thermoplastic composites, which represent the next frontier in lightweighting technology, thermoplastic elastomer adhesives and protective films. 

Injection-moldable Gravi-Tech™ density modified formulations can help you achieve the evenly distributed weight, complex designs, and visual surface effects of metal without the extra costs and steps associated with die cast mold tooling or secondary assembly operations.

These materials have been formulated using select metallic fillers and engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.
