Over the years, as GLS™ has worked with customers to perfect their thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) applications, we've developed a range of concepts and procedures that can help improve and optimize designs. One of the key properties of thermoplastic elastomers supplied by GLS is hardness. The hardness of a material is often one of the first criteria considered when choosing a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

In addition to being lightweight, high stiffness is also a key contributor to the success of long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are an excellent option to consider for metal replacement at a fraction of the weight.

With a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.  Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels consist of thermoplastics, continuous glass-fiber face sheets, and foam cores. Boat builders now have an innovative alternative based on strong, lightweight thermoplastic materials that can remove multiple production steps for better quality and economics,” said Matt Borowiec, general manager, PolyOne Advanced Composites.
