If you want to reduce product weight and also improve physical properties, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites might be just the solution you seek.
Continuous fiber reinforcement provides superior material performance when compared to chopped or long fiber reinforcement. Fortunately, cost objectives can often be met more effectively with the continuous reinforcement approach.

We have a supplier that has the whole package just waiting for your inquiry.
First, their engineering team will help you from concept through full scale production.
Second, there are multiple tooling options depending upon your requirements for cost, durability, and precision. You may, for example, choose low cost molds for prototyping and then more durable tooling for full production.
Third, they can offer technical advice on:
- Thermoplastic composite properties
- Thermoplastic selection appropriate for your project
- Reinforcing fibers in order to achieve the properties you seek.
Continuous fiber reinforced molding can be co-processed with traditional injection molding. Inserts may also be co-molded into the composite materials to create metallic connections.
Continuous fiber reinforced composites are currently performing very well in aerospace, sporting goods, oil and gas, military, and several other markets. These materials are particularly useful for applications requiring low flame, smoke and toxicity but with superior impact resistance and easy recyclability.
