A new line of continuous-fiber thermoplastics (CFTs) combines the strength of fiber-reinforced materials with good design flexibility. All of the fibers are continually connected throughout the material, resulting in processing and product advantages over other fiber-reinforced composites. Features of the CFTs include impact tolerance, toughness, the ability to be postformed, secondary attachment capacity, joining capability, the ability to be recycled, light weight, corrosion resistance, and good insulating qualities. Suitable for medical tubing, the CFTs offer chemical resistance without conductivity and high strength and flared ends, if desired. The CFT line is from Polygon Co. (Walkerton, IN; 800/918-9261).
