Featuring a controlled laser transmission rate and weld width that delivers strength and a smooth surface finish increases part design freedom, and allows for various colors of formulations. Made from continuous glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets and polyester foam cores, Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels are engineered to provide simplified installation, long-lasting components, and overall cost reduction for boat manufacturers. Complēt™ REC Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics

Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) When designing TPE parts, strive to keep the part wall thicknesses as uniform as possible and radius all sharp corners. LSR and other engineering elastomers typically cost more per pound than standard elastomers.

Injection Molding: Part Design Engineered Fiber Solutions Avoid Lightweighting Mistakes

Lightweighting Thermoplastic elastomers are also used to make products more lightweight. Additionally, automotive parts and devices made from TPE make vehicles lighter and more fuel efficient.

Incorporating CFRTP reinforcement in molded thermoplastic components combines the design flexibility and fast cycle times of traditional molding with the strength, stiffness, and lightweighting benefits that composites offer, all with standard processing equipment.  By replacing the metal plate and integrating the Polystrand material into the molded part, the supplier saved 8 pounds of overall vehicle weight.  In unidirectional tape or multi-axial laminate form, CFRTPs give design engineers customizable options to incorporate lightweight strength and stiffness into demanding applications ranging from air cargo containers to snowboard bindings to automotive hatch covers.
