Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) Advanced Mobility Composite Structures Thermoplastic Elastomers

The consensus was clear: the world’s strongest fiber™ just got stronger. This innovation pushes fabric engineering to new heights, delivering a composite that can withstand some of the most extreme and demanding environments, reinforcing Dyneema® as the global leader in fiber technology. Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

Traditionally, Carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more. Composition The majority of production carbon fibers are made from the precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN). We believe that our ongoing commitment to protect the environment, to remain at the forefront of fiber and coating technology, and to ‘treat others as we want to be treated’ will continue to drive the success of our customers, shareholders, and employees.

Our high fiber volume, glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM) thermoset sandwich panels can streamline production and reduce system costs by eliminating assembly steps such as welding, drilling, bolting and riveting. Because the manufacturing process is continuous, it also provides significant cost savings over traditional composite panel manufacturing techniques. Our composite panels are custom engineered by varying core thicknesses to increase or decrease stiffness; by varying core materials (including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods) to increase or decrease weight; by varying fiber to modify the stiffness-to-weight ratio; and by varying the base polymer to increase or decrease strength. * 4 point flex., 44 in. span, ASTM 7249 Note: Additional core materials available.
