Automotive chassis components, body panels Medical splints, braces, orthopedic fixators Avient’s Glasforms™ and Gordon Composites™ carbon fiber composite materials consist of thermoset continuous fiber polymer rods, bars, laminates and custom shapes used in a variety of applications that require superior technical characteristics.
Carbon fibers combined with vinyl ester or epoxy resin create a composite material that, like all composites, has higher performance properties than the individual materials alone.
MOVE OVER METAL Compared to steel, carbon fiber composites are: Tensile Strength 400–500 ksi Density 1.55 g/cm3 Concrete reinforcement, infrastructure repair BUST THE RUST Carbon fiber composites are inherently corrosion resistant, making them ideal for harsh outdoor applications MEET YOUR NEEDS Avient customizes composite materials to meet your specifications, from specialty surface treatments to finishing operations TAKE THE HEAT Carbon fiber composites have excellent dimensional stability to withstand extreme temperatures and conditions stronger 10X 5X lighter Archery bow limbs, risers, cable guards, arrows https://www.avient.com/products/advanced-composites/pultrusion-and-continuous-filament-winding-technology/glasforms-pultruded-rods-tubes-custom-profiles https://www.avient.com/products/advanced-composites/continuous-fiber-composite-tape-laminates-and-barstock/gordon-composites-thermoset-laminates-barstock https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-11/carbon-fiber-reinforced-product-bulletin.pdf

THE SOLUTION This coordinated effort resulted in the innovative Modular Protective System (MPS) portable structure, which incorporates an Edwards-designed collapsible truss framework and Avient’s GlasArmor™ ballistic resistant composite panels.
GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable.
THE IMPACT The MPS incorporates Avient’s custom-formulated GlasArmor ballistic panels that meet Level 3 protection under Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 standards for ballistic resistance.
