Avient Launches Industry-First Thermoplastic Composite Panels with Integrated Flame Retardance for Simplified Construction at NAHB International Builders’ Show
Polystrand™ Thermoplastic Composites: for decking, lumber, flooring, structural reinforcement, and more
Explore Avient’s website for Hammerhead FR Flame Retardant Composite Panels, Polystrand Thermoplastic Composites, Ballistic Resistant Composite Panels, and Glasforms Pultrusions to learn more.

The choice of the thermoplastic depends on the functional performance needed
in the end-use application.
However, most of the combinations
were limited to hard thermoplastics only.
This is achieved by molding a soft
skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic.
