They also help reduce material use and weight. Fiber-Line™ Engineered Fiber Solutions are high-performing synthetic fibers that add strength, reduce cable weight or diameter, and can replace metal in the most demanding wire and cable applications. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Various trends continuously shape the aerospace, healthcare, and consumer industries, including the need to reduce weight and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Our newest metallic effect pre-colored sulfone formulations, developed to emulate finishes that use metal without the weight, can help design engineers address these trends by achieving heat and chemical resistance, increasing design freedom, and eliminating the need for secondary processing.” Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Colorant Chromatics™ Chemical & Physical Foaming Additives enhance electrical properties, reduce cable weight, and improve cost-effectiveness. Fiber-Line™ High Performance Fiber can add strength, reduce cable weight or diameter, and replace metal in the most demanding wire and cable applications. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Dyneema® will showcase its expanding portfolio of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber solutions for body armor, helmets, and hard armor panels, including a groundbreaking new line of its lightest hard ballistic materials, Dyneema® HB330 and Dyneema® HB332. With a fully integrated product portfolio aimed at protecting the whole person, Dyneema® offers outstanding ballistic protection at drastically reduced weights. When comparing these new innovations to the current leading second-generation Dyneema® materials in a complete body armor system, weight savings can reach up to 30%. 

Specifically, the material needed to handle constant weight loads and high vibration, and withstand corrosive chemicals. This project is an excellent example of how the strength and toughness of Complēt long fiber composites offer a light weight solution and an exceptional substitute for metals across many industries. Examples include:  •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation  •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
