The fibers are guided through tooling, formed into the desired shape and diameter, then cured. • FIBER-LINE® recently installed new state of the art pultrusion equipment to complement its traditional processes for making FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer). • 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.
