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.
They are used in many different
industries, from automotive and aerospace to infrastructure
and recreation.
Advantages
Recyclability, enhanced toughness, chemical
resistance, noise and vibration damping,
post-formability, and lower density
DURABILITY
STRENGTH
• Corrosion resistance for
marine and deep water
applications
• Improved shock
resistance with
aramid fibers
• Protection from shrapnel
for military barriers
• Structural performance in
aerospace and marine markets
• High tensile strength for
industrial applications

Over half of closurelogic’s
revenues are generated from sales outside of Germany.
In addition, the GLS TPE from Avient passed migration,
extraction and sensory testing by Nehring Institute as
required by food contact regulations (EU) 10/2011 and
FDA 177.1210.
When looking
for a cap for their mineral water, Acqua Plose chose
closurelogic aluminum caps with TPE cap liners to
ensure that the taste of Plose bottled water is just as
natural as when it flows from the spring high up in the
Dolomite Mountains of Northern Italy.
