Avient Thermoplastic Tapes
Engineered or unidirectional fibers are combined
with thermoplastic resins to create continuous
fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide
superior strength-to-weight ratio and high
performance for reinforcement across a broad
range of applications.
POLYSTRAND™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT,
LIGHTWEIGHT
Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and
engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous
fiber composites offer reduced weight while
maintaining exceptional strength and impact
resistance.
FIBER-LINE™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, CREEP RESISTANT,
CHEMICAL RESISTANT
Fiber-Line Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic
Tapes are formulations composed of a wide range
of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance
fiber performance—such as twisting and coating—
and then custom manufactured into a composite
tape with a thermoplastic resin.
