PRODUCT SELECTION & INSTALLATION GUIDE COMPOSITE SPRINGS VIBRATORY CONVEYORS AND SEATING FEATURE BENEFIT • Exceptional fatigue resistance • Corrosion resistance • Creep resistance Fewer failures for longer spring life, less frequent replacement, and a more reliable end product • High strength-to-weight ratio—less than half the weight of steel • High spring rate and deep deflection • Custom designs to support off-axis loads Stronger springs can mean fewer are needed in an application for overall cost savings • Common sizes in inventory • Custom design and finishing capabilities Fast, dependable service, ready-to-install product and customization options to boost your manufacturing efficiency PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Thermoset composite springs from Avient are engineered with proprietary vinyl ester or epoxy resins and unidirectional fiber reinforcement technologies.
The endurance limit was defined when the springs reached 1.5+ million cycles with no loss of spring rate. • Glass/epoxy endurance limit: 80 ksi (552 MPa) • Glass/vinyl ester endurance limit: 50 ksi (345 MPa) 20 25 30 35 40 Glass/Epoxy High Temp Glass/Vinyl ester 1409040-10-60 0 300 600 900 1200 1500 Glass/Epoxy High Temp Epoxy/Glass Glass/Vinyl Ester 1901409040-10-60 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 14801280108088068048028080 20 25 30 35 40 Glass/Epoxy High Temp Glass/Vinyl ester 1409040-10-60 0 300 600 900 1200 1500 Glass/Epoxy High Temp Epoxy/Glass Glass/Vinyl Ester 1901409040-10-60 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 14801280108088068048028080 FLEXURAL STRENGTH VS.

For ASTM G21-15, most polymer compounds also exhibited marginal or no change in fungal growth with the added texture, except for nylon-6; trace growth (rating = 1) was observed on the smooth surface while heavy growth (rating = 4) occurred on the textured sur- face.
Overall, the most notable distinctions were observed during ASTM G21-15 fungal resistance testing on smooth plaque surfaces, which exhibited variable growth ratings for the polymer substrates, as shown in Table 1.
Only polyamide-6 exhibited a nota- ble change in fungal growth from trace (rating = 1) to heavy (rating = 4) when comparing smooth and textured surfaces, respectively.
