Through injection or compression overmolding, composite tapes and multi- ply laminates are integrated into traditional thermoplastic molding processes to create locally-reinforced, molded components.

CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced development of reSound™ NF reinforced materials, based on an eco-conscious, natural fiber-filled technology. Testing at Fraunhofer ICT Institute in Pfinztal, Germany has shown that a 40% filled reSound™ NF formulation has equivalent performance to a 30% filled short glass fiber reinforced alternative, at a 7-8% lower density. Caption: New reSound™ NF natural fiber reinforced polymers help manufacturers reach goals for performance and sustainability.
