CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ CONTINUOUS FIBER THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Challe nge Accepted. The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.

CASE STUDY: PLASTICOMP™ COMPLĒT™ LONG FIBER REINFORCED STRUCTURAL THERMOPLASTICS Challe nge Accepted. Their pursuit led them to carbon fiber composites and, subsequently, to Avient, a leading supplier of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and technologies. The resulting Frog Legs casters, crafted with fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, are an astounding 33% (280g) lighter than the conventional aluminum casters.
