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. The third profile was also 41% lighter than aluminum, with a 50% increase in flexural stiffness, and maintained torsional rigidity slightly better than that of aluminum.

To comply with all of these standards meant covering the wire with more than one layer of jacketing and insulation materials – and that meant running the product through the extruder more than once.  The manufacturer used the new material to produce finished cable and wire with a single pass through the extruder, which simplified production, reduced costs and freed capacity. Increased capacity: Reduced cycle times from the single extruder pass yielded an increase in manufacturing capacity.

From everyday joggers to high-profile athletes, runners have come to rely on the company’s devotion to creating innovative shoes. The Brooks design team members turned to Avient for help developing a solution that would work seamlessly with Brooks’ proprietary TPE blend used in the shoe's midsoles.  Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend.

TPEs: The Basics What are TPEs? Are TPEs safe?

During the extrusion process, Cesa™ Process Additives coat the inner surface of the die, reducing the friction between the melt and the metal and allowing polymers to extrude more easily. Allows polymers to extrude more easily
