Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites

PlastiComp manufactures long fiber reinforced composite materials by combining all types of continuous fiber (glass, carbon, or specialty) into any thermoplastic polymer matrix (PP to PEEK) to meet your performance requirements.

[ Glass Fiber | Carbon Fiber | Hybrid Fiber | Maximum Toughness | Velocity^® ]

In addition to reinforcement, PlastiComp can incorporate multi-functional performance such as conductivity, lubricity, flame retardance, or color. Contact us with your specifications to have a long fiber material tailored to your needs.
