Thermoplastic Composite Panels & Laminates
for Commercial & Residential Garage Doors
Extend the life of your garage doors with
Polystrand™ composite sandwich panels or
continuous fiber laminates.
Whether you are
choosing an alternative material like our Polystrand
composite sandwich panels or continuous fiber
laminates to strengthen the impact resistance of
your current systems, Avient can custom formulate
a solution to meet your performance needs.

WEIGHT REDUCTION
• Up to 75% lighter than steel;
up to 25% lighter than aluminum
• Better fuel economy for
transportation
• Simplified installation
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
• Complex shapes less costly
to produce than metal
• Ability to tailor strength
and stiffness in
specific areas
• Versatile aesthetic
options for
surface finish
PART
CONSOLIDATION
• Easier installation
and assembly with
fewer parts
• Simplified transport
of finished goods
• Fewer parts = reduced
chance of failure
Value that the U.S. composite
materials market is expected to
reach by 2022
$10.6B
50% Amount of weight reduction that
advanced composites could bring to
passenger cars, leading to 35% better
fuel efficiency
7% CAGR that analyst firm Technavio forecasts the
global medical composite materials market
will experience from 2016–2020
Fiber-reinforced polymer composites combine thermoset
or thermoplastic resins with fiber reinforcement, the resulting
product having substantially different properties than the
individual components.
