What continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are, and how they differ from other fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials 

The colorants, provided as concentrate pellets, are added to virgin or recycled polymers during yarn manufacturing as a one-in-one manufacturing/dyeing process.

The growing adoption of plastics with PCR content by Asian automakers in the past decade, especially for interiors, has also created a significant rise in demand for PCR-based TPE solutions capable of delivering excellent overmolding results on higher-performing polymers, such as PP,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

It’s exciting to continue to innovate and push the envelope with this high-performance polymer bringing more advanced LFT solutions to market,” said Matt Mitchell, Global Marketing Director, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

The result is a set of twenty color aesthetics that aim to guide and inspire designers and marketers in their color selections for new polymer applications.

Several trends are pushing the wine industry to find alternatives to natural cork,” explains Daniele Conti, Polymer Scientist on the ColorWorks team.

Pultruded composites are a type of high-performance, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material that are manufactured using a continuous process called pultrusion.
