23 What is Compounding? Process Plastic Resins Additives Chopped Carbon Fiber Physical Thermal Electrical Aesthetic Compound

24 What is Compounding? Fabrication Compound Screw Mould Finished Part

25 Reinforced Thermoplastics Advanced materials and improved reinforcements have increased and developed the performance of engineered thermoplastics. Improved physical and chemical properties, such as tensile modulus and strength, make thermoplastics smart candidates for replacing traditional engineering materials in structural applications. Superior properties of reinforced thermoplastics, such as light weight, high strength, intricate design and high output etc., make them great candidate for metal replacement. Compounding provides the ability for the manufacture for an unlimited number of combinations of filler, reinforcement and resins.
