Glasforms Composite Profiles Explore what's possible with Glasforms composite profiles, from sizing options to target applications.

Typical applications include extruded components where abrasion resistance and cut-through resistance are required.  

Further, several injection points can be added to run multiple colors or additives at the same time on a single extruder to enhance flexibility.

These bio-based materials can be processed on standard injection-molding machines and extruders and can be recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polymers.

Available as a solid masterbatch, the additive can be extruded with packaging resins without the need for extra equipment.
