40% Glass-Filled Resin
However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin.
Scratch and mar performance is average but not as good as some engineered nylon 6 or 66 resins.

The first, Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations, is based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources.
The second, Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-based Formulations, contains bio-based resin from renewable plant sources.
Formulated using engineered thermoplastic resins and select metallic fillers, they offer densities similar to traditional metals while providing design and processing flexibility.

Some common manufacturing options are pultrusion, resin injection, resin transfer molding (RTM) and filament winding.
In the most basic sense, a fiber is combined with resin.
Ballistic panels are made from multiple layers of woven fiberglass, then encapsulated with a resin system.

Pultrusion is the process of impregnating and curing fibers in a resin system to form a rigid rod.
Resin impregnated fibers are chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly crosslinked thermoset matrix.
Common resins include MDPE, HDPE, PVDF, PVC and Nylon.
