Using Polystrand materials extended the life of truck trailers and reduced weight to improve fuel economy.
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.

Historically, plywood and other materials have been used as structural panels across a variety of industries.
However, as sustainability initiatives grow and designs become increasingly complex, new material alternatives are needed.
They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.

The multi-material composition allows the design engineer to select skins and cores that are best suited for the application.
Performance and weight must be thoughtfully balanced, as a primary advantage of thermoplastic composite panels is greater strength-to-weight ratio than traditional panel materials.
