PULTRUDED PROFILES - TYPICAL PROPERTIES
The Glasforms™ pultrusion process creates continuous,
constant cross-sectional profiles with consistent, uniform
quality and exceptional mechanical performance.
Standard and custom shapes and sizes are available with
a variety of resins including polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy,
and reinforcements including mat/roving (MR-GFRP) or
unidirectional (U-GFRP) fiberglass, or high performance
unidirectional carbon fiber.

OnColor™ IR Sortable Black
Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging
OnColor™ Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable
Packaging is a black colorant created without the
addition of carbon black pigment.
In the
presence of carbon black, currently used to color
most black packaging, all the wavelengths are
absorbed and black polymers can’t be identified,
inevitably keeping black packaging out of recycling
streams at considerable cost to our environment.

Helping to improve sustainability over the end-
product lifecycle, these formulations offer a
reduced carbon footprint as a result of the PK
base resin.
The production of PK emits up to
61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-03/Edgetek PKE High Impact Formulations Technical Bulletin.pdf
These materials also offer a sustainability benefit
through a reduced carbon footprint because PK
base resin production emits up to 61 percent less
carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon, helping to improve
sustainability over the end-product lifecycle.
