  • Polypropylene (PP) with Glass, Carbon, Steel
  • Polyamide 6 (PA6) with Glass, Aramid, Carbon, Steel
  • Polyamide66 (PA66) with Glass, Aramid, Carbon, Steel
  • Alloy (AY) with Glass
  • Polylactide (PLA) with Glass
  • Polyethylene (HDPE) with Glass
  • Polycarbonate (PC) with Glass, Steel
  • Acrylnitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) with Glass, Steel
  • Polyphenylene oxide (PPO) with Steel
  • Polyurethane (TPU) with Glass, Carbon
  • Polyoximethylene/Polyacetal (POM) with Glass, Aramid, Carbon, Steel
  • Polyester (PBT/PET) with Glass
  • Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) with Glass, Aramid, Carbon, Steel
Features
