Advanced Composites Explained Moisture-resistant Complēt™ long glass fiber reinforced formulation improves strength, design freedom, and finish Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites: Performance Advantages & Applications

Complēt™ long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite formulations Gordon Composites™ continuous-glass and carbon-fiber barstock, laminates and composite springs, including springs for high-temperature industrial applications Fiber-Line™ engineered high-performance fibers, including coated, twisted, and custom wound aramid, glass, carbon, HMPE, and LCP fibers

PolyOne is also announcing the availability of the reSound™ NF Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites in brilliant colors and extrusion formulations, making the material more useful for building & construction, sporting goods and other applications. These sustainable formulations provide comparable mechanical properties to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds at 5-10% lower density.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Expands Long Fiber Composites Portfolio Using Recycled Content Avient announces new long fiber reinforced composites formulated with post-industrial recycled resin content, for applications including office furnishings and outdoor adventure gear. Formulations are available globally in black and natural color and in typical reinforcement percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations.

Achieve performance equivalent to PA66 glass fiber-filled materials Lower warpage compared with PA66 glass fiber-filled materials Cost-effective alternative to PA66 glass fiber-reinforced materials

Testing at Fraunhofer ICT Institute in Pfinztal, Germany has shown that a 40% filled reSound™ NF formulation has equivalent performance to a 30% filled short glass fiber reinforced alternative, at a 7-8% lower density. They feature densities 5-10% lower than comparable glass fiber formulations to reduce weight. New reSound NF solutions are based on polypropylene chemistry.

Glass fiber-reinforced polyester is the most prevalent composite used in boats and ships while aramid fiber reinforcement is used in key areas of high-performance sailboats, such as the bow and keel sections.  Glass fiber-reinforced composites are also used in other electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters, and pole line hardware. Organo sheets are another kind of laminate and can be made from carbon, glass, or aramid fiber fabrics.
