CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ CONTINUOUS FIBER THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Challe nge Accepted. The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The glass fiber orientation provided lightweight strength in all directions while meeting the specific thickness required for the tube structure.

Remafin™ EP White Colorants: white concentrates pre-tested to European Pharmacopeia standards for use with polyethylene and polypropylene pharmaceutical packaging 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    

Evaluating the Replacement of Aluminum with Long Fiber Composites Key Factors for Making an Informed Decision As costs and competition increase, many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are exploring ways to maintain profit margins. LFTs use reinforcement fibers (e.g., glass or carbon) that are in parallel alignment and of uniform length (typically 12 mm), offering metal replacement performance. Injection molded long fiber composites deliver comparable performance characteristics to metals and offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios.

Adding value to your supply chain is what we do best, whether it’s with market-leading polymer materials, innovative fiber coloration systems or high-performance screen printing inks. Change the Way You Dye Textiles Change the way you dye fibers with a technology that uses no water and less energy than the classic bath-dyeing technology.

Resin impregnated, continuous glass fibers are drawn through a curing die of a specific cross section, yielding consistent quality, dimensions and mechanical properties to provide more consistent spring rates than alternate materials. Reinforcement fiber configurations are designed to provide high flexural strength and modulus in the axial direction plus fastener bearing strength in the transverse direction

The improved chemical resistance and lower moisture absorption properties combine with the eco-conscious benefits to make Edgetek™ PKE and long fiber Complēt™ PKE polyketone composites an excellent choice for powersports applications that require consistent performance across different and demanding environments.

In solvolysis, the chain length of matrix polymers is reduced toward monomers while removing the matrix from the fibers so that both the fibers and matrix chemical products can be recovered. Composites can be ground into small particles for use as engineered fillers or maintained at larger scales where fibers remain of reasonable length to be reused as fiber reinforcement in their next life.   To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.
