Composite Plastics 

• A combination of two or more different plastics to produce a material that gives the properties that you would not get with a single material alone.
• The individual components remain separate and distinct within the finished structure. 
• Can produce stronger, lighter, and more cost effective solutions in comparison to a single material alone. We offer a wide variety of composite plastics for all of your needs.​
