Eliminates the need for additional sheets or coatings to achieve specific FR performance • Reduction of labor costs and assembly time as paintable panels come ready to install • No need to stop other construction projects while assembling FR panels (most coatings require a delay until they dry and cure before construction can resume) Gamechanger FR COMPOSITE PANELS Lightweight/Durable: By replacing heavy materials with these panels, builders can reduce structural weight without compromising integrity. FR COMPOSITE PANELS Our Hammerhead FR composite panels consist of specially formulated continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) sheets bonded to a thermoplastic foam core.
