	I am modifying an extruder to produce thermoplastic reinforced pellets for my research work. It will save me time if I buy the pellets. Does anyone know a company that sells them

	contact www.ticona.com they sell pellets with glass that can be mixed and the % glass reduced Engel and Krauss- maffei also make injection molding machines with an extruder on top that bring in glass rovings and compounds the glass/ polymer in process this makes longer fibers and typically 10 to 20% better properties best of luck bruce __________________ Duct tape is like 'The Force'.

	Suggest you start here http://www.ides.com/prospector/default.asp to look at a number of compounds available, degree of fill, properties etc. Then have some conversations with extrusion screw and barrel folks about hardened components - the glass will take it's toll over time - good luck, Jim
