Customized Performance Leveraging the Toughness of Glass Fiber and Strength of Carbon Fiber When selecting a hybrid solution there is also the added benefit of being able to promote the use of carbon fiber within your product – something that consumers are already well-versed with and associate with innovative and high-performance products.  Hybrid materials range from 20-50% total long glass + long carbon fiber content (by weight) reinforcing a variety of resin systems including polyamides, rigid thermoplastic polyurethanes and polypropylene.

Masterbatch approach eliminates added cost, chemical volatility of painting After molding, the parts had to be cleaned, primed, painted and clear coated – with three rounds of drying in between.  Cost reduction: Overall improvement in material cost performance versus painted ABS.

These short fiber formulations combine select engineering resins with reinforcing additives such as carbon powder, carbon fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber and stainless steel fiber, to provide the precise level of electrical conductivity required for your application.    Using Polymers for ADAS Housings Can polymers be used instead of aluminum for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems?

They also can eliminate additional painting steps to an application in need of shielding protection. Additional benefits and features of Surround formulations vary depending on the reinforcing additives used, such as nickel-coated carbon fiber and stainless steel fiber.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Flame Retardants for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Ignitability and flame spread, with or without an additional radiant heat source, are a particular concern for fibers used in indoor applications, or indeed anywhere where human lives could be endangered. APPLICATIONS Cesa Fiber Additives for flame retardancy are recommended for spun-dyed PP, PET and PA fibers used in applications such as automotive textiles, home and office furnishings, clothing, and carpeting. CHEMISTRY Avient’s non-halogen flame retardant systems for fibers can be applied to decrease the flammability of polypropylene, while nitrogen and phosphorous based chemistries are used to impart flame retardant properties to polyester and polyamide PA 6 and PA 6.6.
