Glass Mat Thermoplastic Market-Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, Forecast 2016–2024


Posted June 28, 2017 by donaldlee

Glass mat thermoplastics provide high innovation potential with respect to material properties, production, processing and ecological demands.

 
Glass mat thermoplastic consists of glass fiber and thermoplastic that are blended together to produce intermediary compound. These are further reinforced using long fibers with glass mat technology. The glass mat thermoplastic material has numerous advantages such as elasticity, impact resistance, resistance to corrosion, durability, and can prove as an alternative to metals such as aluminum and steel, which are comparatively heavier. Glass mat thermoplastic is witnessing increased acceptance owing to increase in use of lightweight materials in automotive, electrical and electronics, and aerospace industries, among others. Automotive industry is one of the major contributors to increase in demand of lightweight and durable materials.
