Thermoplastic polymers

These polymers soften when heated and return to their original state when cooled. They can thus undergo reversible changes of phase.

They can be shaped via thermoforming processes.

The melting and solidification process can be repeated again and again without altering the molecular structure of the polymer.

The chemical structure of the polymer allows for generally fast production cycles.

Top Glass utilizes two production technologies for thermoplastic resins: Fulcrum® and Twintex®

Fulcrum® is a technology for producing pultruded reinforced fiberglass profiles in a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. This matrix gives the profiles exceptional strength and flexibility.

Twintex® is similar to Fulcrum® but uses different matrices, such as polypropylene and PET.
