To meet the underbody brace requirements, Avient’s 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.  For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

For stiffness or strength requirements, consider leveraging long fiber thermoplastics technologies. However, long-fiber thermoplastic (LFT) technology addresses these concerns, bridging the gap between short-fiber reinforced formulations and over-engineered materials. LFTs still offer the ease of injection molding, like short-fiber polymers, but the fiber length and type (glass, carbon, etc.) are key factors in the strength, stiffness, and durability of plastics.

Compared to traditional pole materials, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are more durable, require less maintenance, and provide a longer service life. The poles have an excellent dielectric strength that allows for safer installation near energized lines. FRP data are from tests--nominal fiber stress is at 5% LEL; modulus of elasticity is at mean.
