A new concept of thermoplastic sandwich structures is presented. It relies on a fibre-reinforced core based on glass/thermoplastic commingled yarn and neat thermoplastic skins. Such a structure has been developed so as to manufacture a new range of storage tanks. The use of composites in the tank core structure results in a significant reduction of the total wall thickness, at identical industrial performances with the neat thermoplastic solution.
