Sunstrand is North America's leader in Sustainable Materials. We specialize in natural materials for use in commercial, industrial, and technical applications. Sunstrand sources rapidly renewable crops (bamboo, hemp, flax, kenaf), process them into customer specifications, and leverage these materials for use in plastics, animal bedding, textiles, and more. Advantages of our materials include sustainability/green messaging, light-weighting, reduced density, reduced cost, and improved performance. Sunstrand products and processes have been designed to deliver consistent, high quality fibers that are compatible with typical composite manufacturing processes. Our biomaterials are used for polymer composite reinforcement and filler developed by composite engineers and material scientists with attention to detail and rigorous mechanical testing. Additionally, Sunstrand fibers are inherently antimicrobial making them a good fit where sanitary issues are a concern.
