The first propeller designs used a 60% long
glass fiber reinforced nylon 6 composite, and testing
on higher horsepower motors was successful.
Complēt™ MT long glass fiber
reinforced nylon 6 composite was selected because of
the extra durability provided, making this solution ideal
for demanding applications like Piranha’s propellers.
The addition of a toughening agent to the long fiber
composite provided improved vibration damping,
according to Stahl.

WHY COMPOSITES?
Glasforms is one of the world’s most
respected brands in pultruded fiber
reinforced polymers (FRP) and advanced
composites.
Our
broad portfolio ranges from fiberglass
reinforced electrical insulator rods, poles,
and cross arms to carbon fiber composite
components for infrastructure repair and
sporting goods

Avient PlastiComp Complēt™ & OnForce™ long fiber composite pellets are manufactured using a pultrusion process.
This fiber to polymer bond is key to obtaining optimum performance and having a true composite material.
The melt impregnated fiber exits the die as continuous composite strands which are cooled using water and/or air until solidified.

CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE
Challe
nge Accepted.
Spurred by the need for high strength and low
weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long
glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution.
Using the new Complēt long glass fiber nylon
formulation, the redesigned yoke underwent testing
at Bettcher to simulate 500,000 run cycles.
