POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES
Tapes, Laminates & Panels
Polystrand™ high performance composite
tapes and laminates are made by combining
thermoplastic polymers and continuous fibers to
create continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic
(CFRTP) composites.
The material is recyclable and can be incorporated
back into traditional thermoplastic products and
processes.
Polystrand composite panels are made with
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic face
sheets thermally bonded or adhered to traditional
core materials such as honeycomb, foam,
aluminum, and nonwovens as reinforcement.

When
conventional thermoplastics can’t measure up, high-performance
thermoplastics can meet the most stringent requirements.

Polarity of the substrate dictates the chemical nature of the
thermoplastic elastomer and hence the properties and the performance of the thermoplastic elastomer.
Figure 1 shows the surface
energy match of various thermoplastic elastomers with rigid thermoplastics.
This test is done
on overmolded plaques with TPE on top of rigid thermoplastic substrates.

THE CHALLENGE
The automotive industry is increasingly turning to engineered
thermoplastics to replace metal parts, thereby achieving
benefits of lower weight for greater fuel efficiency, increased
design freedom to incorporate larger numbers of sophisticated
components, and lower costs from elimination of secondary
fabrication steps.
First, sheet metal
restricts design flexibility, and different automotive OEMs
request different attachment configurations for the part, so it
becomes extremely time-consuming to design and fabricate
multiple variations in metal.
HellermannTyton designers believed that engineered
thermoplastics were the answer.
