The first propeller designs used a 60% long glass fiber reinforced nylon 6 composite, and testing on higher horsepower motors was successful. You really have to understand the flexural modulus properties of long fiber composites when designing a propeller,” said Stahl. Avient’s Complēt MT composite materials enable up to 20% more impact resistance than standard long fiber reinforced materials.

However, regulators are pushing for bans on the use of this material, especially in Europe. Inherently, thermoplastics offer exceptional design freedom for complex parts. Device manufacturers will also experience a reduction in overall exposure to this material.
