Tapes, rods, ribbon, and molding compounds are produced, using polyphenylene sulfide, nylon, acetal, polycarbonate, and other matrix resins with aramid, carbon, or glass fibers. These reinforcing fibers are used both separately and together as hybrid reinforcements. On-going development efforts include metal replacement and thermoset substitution programs in automotive, recreational vehicle, and industrial applications, especially electrically conductive products for shielding applications. Test specimens are molded in order to evaluate the materials. Formulations are developed to meet customer requirements with a specialty in color technology.
Specimens are injection molded to test product properties and processing characteristics.
Test specimens for materials characterization and quality control are injection molded.
