Pultruded Composites: A Design and Material Engineer's Guide
This guide will explore the benefits, drawbacks, and target applications of pultruded composites.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/2020-composites-overmolding-overview.pdf
PROCESS OVERVIEW
Polystrand™ advanced thermoplastic composites
combine high strength, unidirectional, continuous
fibers with engineered thermoplastic resins to create
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP)
materials that feature exceptional strength-to-weight
ratio and high impact resistance.
With a
comprehensive approach combining
application engineering and industrial
design, our technical and design
experts will work with you to accelerate
your process from concept to finished
component.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Rods, Bars and Laminates
For Strengthening, Stiffening and Lightweighting
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) products
from Avient are continuous fiber polymer rods,
bars and laminates used in a variety of structural
strengthening, engineered weight reduction, and
repair applications in multiple industries.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/gravi-tech-closures-case-study.pdf
Working
closely with the producer, the Avient team recommended
customizing a high density, engineered material
formulation as an alternative to metal.
