TPF(TM) is an emerging process technology for the low pressure, fully automated molding of long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic ("LFRT") large structural parts providing enhanced mechanical properties through the randomization and preservation of fiber length in molded parts. LFRT molded products represent one of the fastest growing segments of the worldwide molded plastics market with applications replacing conventional materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, fiberglass and cement, in nearly all major industrial market segments. The worldwide market for LFRT products is estimated to be a multi-billion pound opportunity with double-digit growth rates currently and into the future. The enhanced mechanical properties of TPF(TM) molded products, coupled with low material costs (including the use of recycled polymers) and low conversion costs, make TPF(TM) patented technology a strong contender for this multi billion pound opportunity.
