Reinforce Your Products with Glass Fiber Technology

Formulations designed to outperform traditional materials and boost mechanical integrity.

Glass fiber additives enhance the performance of engineering polymers by significantly improving stiffness, dimensional stability, and thermal resistance, all without a dramatic increase in part weight.

Americhem’s glass fiber polymer compounds are engineered to meet your specific needs, whether you’re molding components for industrial, automotive, or appliance applications. These additives work across a range of base resins, including PA, PBT, PC, and PP, and are available in both short and long glass fiber formats.

Benefits include:

  • Higher tensile and flexural strength
  • Improved heat deflection temperature
  • Reduced warpage in injection-molded parts
  • Enhanced long-term durability under mechanical stress

Mechanical Strength Without Sacrificing Processing

Glass fiber additives optimize structural integrity across multiple polymer systems.

Our formulations are designed to maintain flowability, reduce warpage, and increase toughness, even under thermal and mechanical stress. Choose from a range of fiber lengths and loading levels to meet your specific application requirements. Every solution is backed by Americhem’s compounding expertise and field support.
