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. Carbon fiber filaments can be woven to form a fabric or take permanent shape as a composite material when combined with a resin. Due to the inherent corrosion resistance of thermoset resins, CFRP products do not rust or corrode and in turn have a longer product lifetime than typical metal materials. 

The problems arose where two clear resins were being blended at the press. Switching from two blended resins to a single material delivered several key benefits to the manufacturer, including:

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. The resin has a lower tensile modulus than the reinforcement and will fracture at lower loads in this direction. Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

L’Oréal recently expressed the need for a tool to help simplify the process of developing color with recycled resin. The PCR Color Prediction Service is Avient’s breakthrough digital tool for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, launched in June 2022. Having identified optimized colorants for the packaging of the Redken line worldwide, Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service helped L’Oréal simplify overall color development with recycled resin.
