A reinforced plastic composition that possesses excellent wear resistance and weld line strength without a significant increase in the flexural modulus. The reinforced plastic composition for forming molded and extruded products has a plastic matrix with a plurality of fibers dispersed therein. The fibers are present in the range of about 1% to about 30% by weight of the plastic matrix. The reinforced plastic composition has a weld line strength greater than 66% of the weld line strength of the plastic matrix without the fibers. The plastic composition is particularly useful for making thrust washers, pump seals, piston rings and other dynamic bearing and sealing components for engines, transmissions and drivelines.
