CLEVELAND – In response to growing customer demand for metal replacement, PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) is expanding capacity for its OnForce™ LFT long-fiber specialty thermoplastics. PolyOne’s robust glass- and carbon fiber-filled formulations retain aesthetic appeal in metal replacement and structural applications, while also offering  higher stiffness, impact strength and surface finish than short-fiber filled materials.

These custom-engineered products are available with a wide variety of core materials, including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods and laminate face-sheets with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins. Better control of fiber alignment and resin kinetics Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

How Avient Can Help Avient’s ultra-pure Stat-Tech™ Static Dissipative Formulations are polymeric formulations that combine select engineered resins with conductive additives such as carbon powder, carbon fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber, and stainless steel fiber, that provide the precise level of electrical conductivity required for your application.

We’re delighted to be introducing our first recycled-content long fiber composite material in a planned larger portfolio based on recycled resin,” said Eric Wollan, General Manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient. Formulations are available globally in a standard black color at typical weight percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Carbon fiber increases modulus more than glass or natural fibers and a composite with 50% fiber will be stiffer than one containing 30%. With carbon fiber reinforced composites there can be additional perceived value added to products by consumers for utilizing “high tech” materials. Carbon Fiber Reinforced
