Injection moldable material enables design freedom and easier processing for more complex shapes Technical information, design guides, processing information and more. Processing & Design Guides

These factors can help determine which material best suits a particular application, based on processing and functional requirements. Various forming processes and application examples of CFRTP materials will be explored later in this article. Explore Forming Methods and Applications for Continuous Fiber Thermoplastics to learn about the unique variety of processing methods that is possible with CFRTPs including:

ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ RHC is an APR accredited, patent protected, liquid dispersion process aid that reduces the amount of energy required during bottle manufacture and improves recyclability of PET over time. HIFORMER™ Liquid Polymer Processing Aid provides sustainability and production benefits for packaging film suppliers such as longer production runs, reduced energy consumption and reduced waste.
