Overall, the superior mechanical properties of long carbon fiber reinforced composites make them an ideal substitute for metals.   Long carbon fiber composites are the top choice for mass reduction. They are up to 30% lighter than long glass fiber materials, yet have overall superior strength and stiffness. 

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 13, 2015 – PolyOne is unveiling new bold color and extrusion options within the reSound™ Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites portfolio this week at the 30th annual Fakuma International Trade Fair, a global plastics industry exhibition. Introduced this year in March, reSound NF composites feature an engineered natural fiber reinforcement. Independent testing has shown that reSound NF formulations offer equivalent performance to short glass fiber reinforced alternatives, at a 5-10% lower density.

Take a closer look at the benefits of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.  Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Learn about Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels made from continuous glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets and polyester foam cores

The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The glass fiber orientation provided lightweight strength in all directions while meeting the specific thickness required for the tube structure. Dive deeper into Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.
