Our high fiber volume,
glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and
continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM)
thermoset sandwich panels can streamline
production and reduce system costs by
eliminating assembly steps such as welding,
drilling, bolting and riveting.
Our composite panels are custom engineered
by varying core thicknesses to increase or
decrease stiffness; by varying core materials
(including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered
woods) to increase or decrease weight; by
varying fiber to modify the stiffness-to-weight
ratio; and by varying the base polymer to
increase or decrease strength

Complēt™ REC
Long Fiber Reinforced Composites Incorporating Recycled Resin
The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber
reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer
recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial
recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU) resin.
With a high strength-to-weight ratio, Complēt REC
long fiber composites can be deployed as an
alternative to metals to obtain valuable weight
reductions.
They process easily across all standard fiber
loading ranges of long glass, long carbon, or hybrid
combinations of fiber.
