Polystrand® Inc, has developed what many material experts believe represents the next generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. This new material system combines continuous structural E-Glass, S-Glass and Aramid fibers. Unidirectional tapes and X-ply continuous rolls can be reformed through high temperature processing to create a new family of end-use applications. Impact resistant rail car panels, scuffboards for the trucking industry, and ballistic protection are a few examples of the numerous applications for Polystrand® material.

What makes Polystrand® unique among composite material systems? It is the use of oriented continuous fibers in a matrix of thermoplastic polymers. The resulting proprietary structural composite has many advantages compared to traditional, more brittle thermosetting polymer composite matrices.
