In this case, unreinforced thermoplastic olefin was molded with a 2-ply and a 3-ply CFRTP laminate.   Comparisons reveal significant improvements in flexural strength and flexural modulus vs. the unreinforced material: up to 327% increase in flexural strength and 245% increase in flexural modulus with the 3-ply reinforcement.  By replacing the metal plate and integrating the Polystrand material into the molded part, the supplier saved 8 pounds of overall vehicle weight.
