Expert Fiber Reinforced Polymer Manufacturers

Fiber reinforced polymers are used in a wide array of industries, ranging from aerospace to construction. Depending on the application, these strong composites may consist of polymers reinforced with glass, carbon, wood, paper or other materials. Each type has its own distinct properties, but all offer durability and high strength characteristics. If you’re seeking fiber reinforced polymer manufacturers who can provide the materials you need in an efficient and reliable manner, look no further than Reading Plastic.

Expert Fiber Reinforced Polymer Manufacturers

At Reading Plastic, we know that choosing the right materials for your application is vital to the success of your project. Our specialists are here to help you locate the ideal fiber reinforced polymers for your purposes, then precisely machine them to your exact specifications.

As one of the nation’s most trusted fiber reinforced polymer manufacturers, we provide a range of polymers to meet differing requirements. High-performing materials that we manufacture include:

• • PTFE – Also known as Teflon®, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a thermoplastic polymer that boasts a large operating temperature range, high density, high electrical resistance and impressive flexural strength. It is hydrophobic, almost totally chemically inert, and has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any known solid. For certain applications, fillers may be used with PTFE to improve its strength, add electrical conductivity, increase abrasion resistance and/or minimize the chance of deformity under load.
  • PEEK – PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is a tough thermoplastic that reliably resists wear, making it a suitable choice for mechanical components for diverse applications. When reinforced with carbon fiber, PEEK offers outstanding strength and stiffness, along with excellent load-carrying capabilities and heightened thermal conductivity.
  • Nylon – Nylon resists corrosion, abrasion, impact and chemicals; in turn, it is among the most versatile and popular thermoplastic resins. When reinforced with glass, nylon exhibits a higher degree of compressive strength and rigidity, plus a low coefficient of friction and other qualities that allow it to replace metal gears in some applications.
