Fiber-Line™ Engineered Fiber Solutions are high-performing synthetic fibers that can be color-coated, add strength, reduce cable weight or diameter, replace metal in the most demanding wire and cable applications, provide water-blocking capability in dry cable applications, and are developed for optimal rip performance in cable jacketing and armor   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Collaborating with PolyOne enabled Akboru Elektrik to make a transition from metal to polymer that increased the expected useful lifetime of the lights by 200 percent, supporting the company’s goals to reduce part weight and improve manufacturing and logistics efficiency. The manufacturer estimates the switch to this polymer tripled the LED lighting products’ useful life and reduced part weight by 50%.

Using these composites as a metal replacement also fosters significant weight reductions along with the time and cost savings benefits of single-step injection molding.  Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Our new lab will enable collaboration with product designers and engineers looking to improve performance, reduce weight, or consolidate parts with continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic tapes and laminates. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

The resulting portfolio includes a diverse range of thermoplastic and thermoset continuous-fiber carbon and glass reinforced materials that offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios as well as unmatched flexibility. Focused on producing advanced composites with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, the platform serves critical performance applications requiring high strength, stiffness and dimensional stability.
