PULTRUSION FIBERS PROCESSES PRODUCTS
Overview
FIBER-LINE® pultrusion is the process of impregnating and curing fibers
in a resin system to form a rigid rod.
Resin chemistry is optimized for process conditions, fiber adhesion,
and end-use application of FRP.
Resin impregnated fibers are
chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly
crosslinked thermoset matrix.

Color & Additive
Formulations for
Biodegradable Resins
& Blends
Using a selected list of pigments and additives,
Avient color experts know how to enhance
biodegradable starch blends or PLA without
affecting degradability of the resins.
Our current portfolio of pre-tested pigments offers:
• A wide range of color masterbatch options
• From opaque to transparent—depending on
the blend or resin
It is important to note that the final colors will
depend on the percentage of use, the resin,
the thickness, and the opacity.
Starch blend
resins often vary from white to brown and this
can influence the final color rendering in the
application.

Avient Thermoplastic Tapes
Engineered or unidirectional fibers are combined
with thermoplastic resins to create continuous
fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide
superior strength-to-weight ratio and high
performance for reinforcement across a broad
range of applications.
POLYSTRAND™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT,
LIGHTWEIGHT
Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and
engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous
fiber composites offer reduced weight while
maintaining exceptional strength and impact
resistance.
FIBER-LINE™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, CREEP RESISTANT,
CHEMICAL RESISTANT
Fiber-Line Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic
Tapes are formulations composed of a wide range
of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance
fiber performance—such as twisting and coating—
and then custom manufactured into a composite
tape with a thermoplastic resin.

Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-Based Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ BIO bio-based formulations are density
modified engineered polymers that contain partially
bio-based resin from renewable plant sources.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.5–11 gm/cm3)
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin from
renewable plant sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance that can be adapted
depending on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
• Food contact compliance available
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin
from renewable plant sources
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to
fossil feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers cost
versus metal
