Composite Fiber Rods
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is also known as glass reinforced polymer (GRP).
Traditional GRP is composed of high strength E-glass fibers impregnated with a variety of specialized proprietary resins.

Recycled-content TPEs and polyamides
Available in North America, injection-moldable reSound R VX TPEs utilize 25 percent (PCR) and up to 40 percent (PIR) recycled content, and both grades can be overmolded onto polypropylene (PP).
These nylon formulations contain 100 percent PCR resin, and are available in both PA6 and PA66 grades with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements.
Recycled-content polycarbonates
For the Asia market, Avient now offers reSound R PC, a range of polycarbonates with glass filler levels from 10 to 30 percent and recycled content ranging from 25 to 75 percent.

Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the
structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight
and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites.
Weight Reduction
• LFT has lower density vs. metal, but still meets
structural performance requirements
• Lightweighting helps meet sustainability goals
related to lower fuel consumption and extended
vehicle range
Design Flexibility
• Injection molding allows for complex geometries
and part consolidation
• Advanced modeling and computer-aided
engineering (CAE) tools for long fiber composites
help validate and optimize part design

CRTM™ (continuous resin transfer molding) panels are thermoset composite sandwich panels with tailored, multi-axial fiber reinforcements, high-fiber volume and very low void content.
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
