Avient’s composite springs are manufactured using a continuous pultrusion process.
Resin impregnated,
continuous glass fibers are drawn through a curing die of a specific cross section, yielding consistent quality,
dimensions and mechanical properties to provide more consistent spring rates than alternate materials.
Reinforcement fiber configurations are designed to provide high flexural strength and modulus in the axial
direction plus fastener bearing strength in the transverse direction

Cet avis est valable lorsque la solution colorante :
- est utilisée dans la fabrication d’emballages rigides en PP ;
- à un taux d’intégration maximal de 4% ;
- n’est pas utilisée avec des chutes de production, d’autres solutions colorantes ou des
matériaux recyclés pouvant contenir du noir de carbone.
Le pigment noir de carbone, très utilisé aujourd’hui pour les emballages de couleurs sombres,
absorbe la lumière infrarouge envoyée par l’équipement de tri optique et ne renvoie pas de
signal.
