Although these process aids do not directly benefit preform manufacturers, who produce the initial plastic preforms, the advantages are realized at the bottle blower stage, where the preforms are heated and blown into their final bottle shapes.
Bottle Quality: Bottle-blowing process aids can improve material distribution within the bottle.
While these machines clearly measure energy savings (15–30%), they do not provide material distribution values.

Overview
FIBER-LINE® pultrusion is the process of impregnating and curing fibers
in a resin system to form a rigid rod.
The fibers are guided through
tooling, formed into the desired shape and diameter, then cured

New material and design options give consumers more freedom than ever before.
Replace multiple metal parts with a single polymer shape.
Engineered plastic compounds that can meet or exceed the properties and appearances of metal are creating even more opportunities for plastic parts to take over as an incumbent material.

High Strength Synthetic Fibers Outperform Steel
Our Products add
• Strength
On an equivalent weight basis, fibers like Aramid, LCP, and PBO are
5-10 times stronger than steel.
• Chemical Resistance
High performance fibers resist soiling and the absorption of water,
solvents, and other chemicals.
• Abrasion Resistance
HMPE as a jacketing material, is a great example of the excellent
abrasion resistance of high performance fibers.
• Fatigue Resistance
Aramid Fibers have exceptional bending and tensile fatigue
resistance.
• Safer Handling
Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they
are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and
completely eliminates fish hooks.
• Dampening
Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load
dampening properties.
