Avient will feature Remafin™ Fiber Colorants for spin-dyeing polypropylene fibers, filaments, and nonwovens, along with Renol™ Fiber Colorants for polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibers and filaments. Avient’s portfolio of Cesa™ Fiber Additives, which can help enhance performance and improve the processing of extruded fibers, will also be on display. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

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.

METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT 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.

When deployed, the legs made with Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites unroll to form a strong tube structure.   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility

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

More than 25 years ago, Gordon and Jeff tried to develop a commercially viable, molded composite outer sole for a running shoe using carbon fiber and fiberglass composites. The unique positioning of the continuous glass fibers within the Polystrand™ material makes the very thin profile of the FlexSpring™ composite insoles possible,” said Gordon. They fit comfortably in most athletic shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber properties providing comfort and performance benefits to the user.

In addition to production, color matching, and quality control capabilities for fiber applications, the site houses a showroom featuring an extensive assortment of sample mono-color polypropylene yarn pompoms. Both polypropylene and polyester yarns in mono and three-color yarns can be spun on this line.
