Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are produced by pulling continuous glass rovings through thermoplastic resin to impregnate the fibers and form a unidirectional tape. The graph above shows the result of tensile load applied longitudinally to three laminate samples made with Polystrand™ continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in 2-, 4- and 6-ply configurations, illustrated below.

At room temperature, the so-called glass transition temperature causes a permanent rotation of the macromolecules, ensuring a controlled release of the various insecticides to the fiber surface and, therefore, permanent and consistent protection. Remafin™ Fiber Colorants for PP

Among all the different types of plastics on the market today, why would anyone choose polyaryletherketones (PAEK), polysulfones (PSU), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), polyetherimides (PEI) and polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) for their application? An extreme case is polybenzimidazole (PBI), which has a stratospheric glass transition temperature of 427°C.
