METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Challe nge Accepted. This was great for strength and performance, but the yoke was heavy, had long lead times for production, and was nearly $100 per part, making it ripe for a metal-to- plastic conversion. Spurred by the need for high strength and low weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution.

Transportation segments including aerospace, automotive, commercial and recreational vehicles can benefit from our advanced composites – in place of traditional materials – to reduce weight, improve strength, and increase design freedom," said OEMs are successfully incorporating our thermoplastic composite technology and gaining value from our design expertise at every step of the product development cycle," said Advanced Composites portfolio offers both thermoplastic and thermoset composite solutions with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios.

Are you an automotive manufacturer or molder considering metal-to-plastic conversion to reduce part weight? To start the transition from metal to plastic to streamline part weight, it’s important to define your objectives by asking the following questions:  Engineered polymers and specialty composites are gaining popularity because they can achieve metal-like performance while providing design flexibility through injection molding.
