Remafin™ EP White Colorants: white concentrates pre-tested to European Pharmacopeia standards for use with polyethylene and polypropylene pharmaceutical packaging Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint   Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility    

Fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites offer many advantages over metals when it comes to part design.   At a high level, long fiber and short fiber reinforced solutions vary simply as that – fiber length within the pellets.   Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics.

The new reSound™ NF bio-filled grades are based on polymers such as polypropylene (PP) with 15 to 20 percent bio-based filler.

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. 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. Standard and custom tapes, laminates, and panels are available in a variety of combinations of matrix resin systems including PP, PE, PETG, aPET, and PA6, and include fiber reinforcements such as E-Glass and S-Glass.

Polystrand™ R continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are made with a resin matrix of greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET).
