THRIVE® Benefits

Break ahead with a rule breaker

As an essentially new class of thermoplastic composites, THRIVE is more than a replacement for your existing material. Instead, it’s writing new rules, setting new performance standards, and giving manufacturers a competitive advantage.

THRIVE: 

  • Has low odor and the natural color of cellulose fibers readily absorbs colors for full color flexibility
  • Passes automotive interior odor tests
  • Minimizes surface sicks and internal voids
  • Is warm to touch with a different look versus both plastics and conventional composites
  • Bonds easily to other polymers and materials
