Avient’s solutions for spin-dyeing include a wide range of colorants to achieve high-quality dyeing of extruded fibers.
Avient’s portfolio of Cesa™ Fiber Additives, which can help enhance performance and improve the processing of extruded fibers, will also be on display.

The adhesion is categorized based on
adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate, or cohesive failure
(C)- if the failure is in TPE.
Design Considerations
The material requirements of bondable TPE’s are different from conventional
TPE’s and it is the same for designing parts.
Prevent the TPE from flashing over areas on the substrate.

The automated
pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon
fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with
consistent, uniform properties.
Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar
with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team
developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional,
hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional
carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both
a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered
fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any
potential cracks from propagating.
The third profile was also 41% lighter
than aluminum, with a 50% increase in flexural stiffness,
and maintained torsional rigidity slightly better than that
of aluminum.

PTFE can be applied as a coating, extruded as a paste, or molded using compression molding or metal powder-processing techniques.
In contrast, rod extrusion would require very stable pigments due to the longer residence time in the extruder.
