KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Incorporates a minimum of 95% post-consumer
recycled PET resin and 58% glass fiber
• Available in unidirectional tape, 2-layer X-ply™
and 3-layer tri-ply laminates
• Excellent bondability to other materials via
thermal lamination or adhesives
• Impact and corrosion resistant
• Improved carbon footprint vs. traditional
polyester-based composite tape
APPLICATIONS
Recycled content unidirectional tapes and
laminates are well-suited for applications that
benefit from the light weight, high strength,
and impact resistance of continuous glass fiber
reinforced rPET including:
• Commercial vehicles
• Trailers
• Structural automotive applications
• Consumer electronics and accessories
• Outdoor sporting equipment and
adventure gear
