Fiber-Line™ Coated Kevlar® Fiber reduces weight in Jet Turbine Containment Rings
by 80% when compared to traditional steel applications.
It helped
them reduce their carbon footprint by reducing evaporation.
For detailed
information on our energy and carbon performance, we invite you to read our most recent report submitted to
CDP.

POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES
Tapes, Laminates & Panels
Polystrand™ high performance composite
tapes and laminates are made by combining
thermoplastic polymers and continuous fibers to
create continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic
(CFRTP) composites.
Avient also offers custom
configurations including fiber concentration,
additives, and colors based on our customers’
requirements.
Standard and custom shapes and sizes are
available with a variety of matrix resins
including polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy, and
reinforcements including, fiberglass mat/roving
(MR-GFRP) or unidirectional (U-GFRP) fiberglass,
or high-performance unidirectional carbon fiber.
