High density polymer-metal composites are an ideal alternative to lead and other traditional metals

Combined with our portfolio of advanced composites and polymer formulations, we're helping customers to create lighter weight, higher performing products where failure is not an option."

Some manufacturers are choosing polymer-metal composites that provide the equivalent weight of metal, but also allow for the design freedom provided by thermoplastics.

These monomers are then polymerized into chains called polymers, or plastic resin, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, in their most basic forms. Thermoplastic composites include these base resins, but are combined with a structural filler such as glass, wood, carbon or polymer fibers to enhance strength, rigidity and structure. We also have what we believe is the broadest composite platform of solutions, which include a full range of products from long glass and carbon fiber technology to thermoset and thermoplastic composites.
