Reinforcing a thermoplastic with long glass fiber is a cost-effective way to boost mechanical properties of unreinforced resin systems and, even, short fiber solutions. Compare long glass fiber thermoplastics strength, toughness, impact data and more. Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are a good option to consider for metal replacement at a fraction of the weight.

Hammerhead™ Thermoplastic Composite Panels from Avient enable modular construction efficiency at Resia RM incorporates Avient’s Hammerhead™ Thermoplastic Composite Panels into their interior wall systems in bathroom and kitchen modules. We’re proud to work with an industry leader like Resia and to bring our thermoplastic composite materials to the modular construction market,” said Mike Mosley, General Manager of Advanced Composites at Avient.

The resulting portfolio includes a diverse range of thermoplastic and thermoset continuous-fiber carbon and glass reinforced materials that offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios as well as unmatched flexibility. Specific continuous-fiber thermoplastic technologies include: •    Multi-axial and multilayer tapes, laminates and sheets up to 10’ wide •    Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths, up to 6” thick and 10’ wide •    High volume production capacity Its leading-edge portfolio of advanced thermoset and thermoplastic composites, including short, long and continuous-fiber reinforced materials, is one of the most comprehensive in the industry.

Versaflex™ TPE materials offer great compression set properties for gaskets that need a long lasting seal, and also create durable speaker skins with a silky feel. These TPEs meet industry ingress protection (IP) standards, are overmoldable directly onto common speaker housing substrates, and deliver more design freedom than you’ve ever thought possible. Versaflex TPEs safely deliver on all of these requirements, while also accelerating production speed and reducing manufacturing cost.

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. Thermoplastic recycled-content composites can further support a circular economy and help customers lessen their environmental impact.

With a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.  Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels consist of thermoplastics, continuous glass-fiber face sheets, and foam cores. Boat builders now have an innovative alternative based on strong, lightweight thermoplastic materials that can remove multiple production steps for better quality and economics,” said Matt Borowiec, general manager, PolyOne Advanced Composites.
