Overview
Impact Guard manufactures large-format fiber-reinforced thermoplastic panels and sheets, notably IMPACT GUARD and IMPACT BOARD. The panels use continuous fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene copolymer with unidirectional fiberglass layers oriented at 90 degrees to tailor stiffness and strength, with formats up to 108 inches wide. They offer high strength-to-weight, impact resistance, moisture and corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, and can be drilled or cut with standard tools for uses such as trailer walls, flooring, agricultural equipment, hurricane shutters, and ballistic panels. They differentiate themselves by delivering affordable continuous-fiber technology in large sizes across transportation, construction, RVs, and agriculture markets to expand the use of continuous-fiber composites at lower cost.
