Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), or carbon fiber composites, are made by combining carbon fiber with a resin, such as vinyl ester or epoxy, to create a composite material that has higher performance properties than the individual materials alone. These CFRP materials consist of thermoset continuous fiber polymer rods, bars and laminates used in a variety of applications that require superior technical characteristics.

In some cases, any of these polymers will work, but in others, a specific one is best. Temperature requirements could also affect polymer choice for household goods, automotive components, and electronics.

As polymer material moves through shear-inducing production equipment, positive or negative static charges can build up on the surface. PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Eliminates electric charges to maintain good product appearance • Creates safer, static-dissipated parts for electronics, packaging, automotive, and military applications • Improves product appeal by reducing static charge-related dust accumulation • Reduces the risk of a potential fire hazard in product environments • Reduces cycle times, maximizes throughput, and lowers operating costs • Can be combined with other additives or colorants into a single masterbatch • Compatible with a variety of processes including blow molding, injection molding, extrusion, and film processing • FDA-approved and bio-based formulations available MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives are suitable for any thermoplastic application that could benefit from reduced static buildup, including: • Automotive under-the-hood components • Automotive dashboards • Electrical connectors & components • Electronic components • Military components • Consumer packaging ARE YOU IN A BATTLE WITH STATIC?

The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.

THE SOLUTION Ballistic-resistant panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites offer key properties that enable Southern States to meet its customers’ critical needs. THE IMPACT Southern States’ ballistic-resistant solutions incorporate three layers of uniquely formulated GlasArmor composite panels to achieve Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Level 8 protection.

Available in unfilled, impact-modified and flame-retardant grades, these formulations deliver comparable physical and mechanical performance to conventional PC blends.
