Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. However, design flexibility is limited because, as thermosets, finished parts cannot be post-formed. Want to learn more about the differences between thermosets and thermoplastics?

Composites Explained: Thermoset vs. Learn more about the differentiation between thermoset and thermoplastic composites. Thermoset composite sandwich panels manufactured via continuous resin transfer molding for custom engineered performance.

This technology consists of a cross-linked, olefinic-based elastomer with lighter weight, improved heat resistance, and easier processing versus that of certain conventional TPVs, silicones, and thermoset rubbers. Products typically made from high-performance materials such as silicone or other thermosets can now reap the benefits of heat and chemical resistance with ambient temperature curing.

Composition Novoloid, or phenolic fiber, is a thermoset organic fiber produced from a phenolic novolac resin. Very compatible with thermoset & thermoplastic resins

The wheel forks utilize a long carbon fiber-reinforced nylon 6/6 composite, while the wheel hub comprises long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane. Avient engineers also formulated the reinforced polyurethane to chemically bond seamlessly with the urethane used for the outer rolling surface of the wheel.
