ADVANCED COMPOSITES FOR DEMANDING APPLICATIONS ADVANCED COMPOSITES PERFORM THERMOSET VS. THERMOPLASTIC The matrix material of a composite can be a thermoset or a thermoplastic THERMOSET THERMOPLASTIC A thermoset is a cross-linked polymer that cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled.

They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength- to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. To meet the underbody brace requirements, Our Glasforms™ technologies were recommended to produce continuous fiber-reinforced braces. The automated pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with consistent, uniform properties.

Completes specialty acquisitions of Gordon Composites and Polystrand and establishes Advanced Composites platform Yesterday, the company announced the acquisitions of Gordon Composites and Polystrand, two specialty businesses that will join Polystrand establishes us with an immediate leadership position in new, next generation thermoplastic composites that combine high strength characteristics of a thermoset with the design freedom of thermoplastics."

THERMOSET ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Gordon Composites™ thermoset composite barstock, laminates, and hybrid composites made with proprietary resin/fiber reinforcement technologies offer: • Corrosion resistance • High fatigue strength • Deep deflection • Excellent interlaminar shear strength Our customized finishing capabilities include machining, water-jet cutting, profiling/shaping, sanding, slitting, laminating, molding and coatings. These continuous fiber-reinforced polymer composites are ideal in applications where high stiffness and light weight performance are critical. Benefits include: • Alternating longitudinal (axial) fibers for flexural & tensile strength and circumferential (biaxial) fibers for crush & burst resistance • Manufactured continuously, at a much higher rate than standard filament winding • Resin matrix and fiber loading formulated to meet your property requirements • Tubing in standard or customized diameters and lengths STANDARD SIZES http://www.polyone.com/content/product-selection-help-form To learn more about Avient advanced composite solutions, call +1.844.4AVIENT or visit www.avient.com/composites Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

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. Engineered fiber thermoplastic composite tapes provide excellent strength-to- weight performance and creep resistance suitable for demanding applications. Providing strength and reinforcement, Fiber-Line tapes can be custom-formulated to meet mechanical or thermal performance requirements.
