Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes
PRODUCT BULLETIN
Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic
Tapes are composite formulations composed of a
wide range of fibers that are uniquely engineered to
enhance fiber and composite tape performance—
such as twisting and coating—and subsequently
custom manufactured into a tape cured with a
thermoplastic resin.

KEY REQUIREMENTS
WHY AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/trilliant-xr-product-bulletin.pdf
X-ray and CT scanner manufacturers must design
machines capable of protecting patients from
harmful X-ray exposure.
These machines have
traditionally been manufactured using lead to
provide such protection.
Device
manufacturers will also experience a reduction in
overall exposure to this material.
