The internal structural components that keep heavy equipment running must stand up to the worst the outdoors can dish out. Remove weight, not strength, by replacing the metal in your brackets with OnForce™ LFT long fiber materials High strength-to-weight ratio

High strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio: Pultruded composites are strong and stiff, yet they are also lightweight. Environmental requirements: Will the composite be exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as chemicals, salt water, or extreme temperatures? Weight requirements: Is weight savings important for the application?

Titanate Fiber Compounds can increase mechanical strength while gaining chemical inertness and excellent cryogenic impact resistance. Foamed polymers provide enhanced electrical properties, reduced cable weight, and material cost savings. Inks for: FEP, ETFE, PFA, ECTFE, PVdF, Polyimide, PTFE, PEEK • 10 standard colors • All colors are heavy metal free • Other colors available upon request HIGH-TEMPERATURE PRINTING & STRIPING INKS These are aqueous inks used for printing, striping, or top coating on high-temperature resins.

Heavy Duty Connectors Provided UL 94 colorants to gain increased speed to market and improved quality

Home // Lighter Weight, Greater Durability for Luxury Vehicles The part would remove weight and withstand copper deposits in a luxury vehicle for an exclusive German automaker. Designers were able to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent without compromising performance.

THE CHALLENGE Vibratory conveyors are frequently used to process a variety of materials, from heavy duty powder and bulk solids to delicate berries and potato chips. These conditions typically require heavy-duty steel coil spring conveyors.

When concrete slabs expand or contract due to temperature changes or traffic loads, dowel bars placed across the transverse joints between slabs help distribute the weight and reduce the risk of cracking. Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel bars offer advantages over traditional steel or epoxy- coated steel bars: • Electromagnetic transparency: ideal for high- speed toll roads to prevent interference • Corrosion resistance: the GFRP material will not rust or corrode in salt or alkaline environments • Light weight: less than one-third the weight of steel • Does not bond to concrete: eliminates the need for sleeves or grease to allow for expansion and contraction Glasforms™ composite dowel bars are tested and approved to meet the following requirements: • ASTM 1356 Glass Transition Temperature • ASTM D570 Water Absorption • ASTM 2344 Short Beam Strength • ASTM 7617 Transverse Shear Strength Glasforms™ Composite Dowel Bars for Concrete Pavement Construction APPLICATION OVERVIEW WHY GLASFORMS PULTRUDED COMPOSITES?

Manufacturer gains performance and sheds cost with advanced composites Weight/Foot (LB) Manufacturer gains performance and sheds cost with advanced composites

If, in the process, the solution delivered a lighter-weight part that would be a great value add for Mars Otomotiv’s customers, which were always trying to cut weight to reduce the carbon emissions of the their vehicles. Specific gains include: •    39 percent reduction in the weight of finished assemblies •    50 percent increase in the number of molded heat sinks produced each day •    20 percent reduction in the total cost to produce each heat sink •    Elimination of secondary finishing operations
