PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
MANUFACTURING ADVANTAGES
Polystrand™ Thermoplastic Composite
Panels are engineered to provide
simplified installation, long-lasting
components, and overall cost reduction.
Hammerhead™ Composite Panels are made
from continuous glass-fiber reinforced
thermoplastic face sheets and polyester
foam cores.

So we’ve developed the ideal TPEs for your infant
care application, from materials that are durable and safe for baby contact to regulatory compliant grades and
soft-touch solutions
The food contact compliance statements are based on the composition of the TPE and cite any restrictions, limitations, food types, and/or
specific migration limitations (depending on the regulation).
Our GLS TPEs safely deliver on all of these requirements, while
also adding comfort and enhancing consumer appeal.

Thermoplastic Composites:
Polystrand™ Thermoplastic Composite Panels: honeycomb core sandwich panels
Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes: fiber-reinforced thermoplastic unidirectional tapes

This customer used Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tapes and laminates in the trailer space of their heavy truck applications.
These tapes and laminates combined high strength, unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins to help reduce weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance.
The solution increased loading per square foot and provided a moisture and debris barrier, and because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials can be more easily recycled compared to alternative materials.
