Polystrand™ Thermoplastic Composite Panels
Lightweight, Strong, & Durable
Constructed of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic facesheets thermally bonded with a variety of internal core materials including thermoplastic foam and honeycomb core, these engineered composite panels are constructed without secondary adhesives for a stronger bond and more efficient manufacturing process.
These panels are designed and customized to maximize performance and minimize weight. By configuring facesheet layers, thicknesses, and fiber content in combination with the right core material selection, we can help you achieve your specific design and performance requirements.
Lightweighting
Impact
- Superior strength to weight ratio vs. other materials such as wood and aluminum
- Uniform high quality
- UV, chemical, and moisture resistance
- High impact strength
- Suited for a wide range of end use applications, including boat decks, RV bunks, storm shelters and shipping containers
