Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels, made from thermoplastic continuous glass fiber-reinforced face sheets and polyester foam core, are engineered to provide simplified installation, long-lasting components, and overall cost reduction for boat manufacturers. Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Learn about Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels made from continuous glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic face sheets and polyester foam cores

Reliability and resilience of electrical transmission & distribution components gets a boost with fiber-reinforced composites Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are prized for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, durability, and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental exposures. Because of their inherent dielectric properties, glass fiber reinforced composites have long been used in electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters and other pole line hardware.

Below are two real-world examples to demonstrate the benefits of converting to long fiber composites in very practical terms. Offered long glass fiber thermoplastic with 3x the strength of incumbent short fiber material without a need for retooling Facilitated lightweighting with a 50% long glass fiber PA66 thermoplastic that matched the performance of the incumbent metal part

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are produced by pulling continuous glass rovings through thermoplastic resin to impregnate the fibers and form a unidirectional tape. The graph above shows the result of tensile load applied longitudinally to three laminate samples made with Polystrand™ continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in 2-, 4- and 6-ply configurations, illustrated below.
