METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Ch all en ge A cc ep te d. Spurred by the need for high strength and low weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution. Complēt long fiber composite not only met structural performance (strength), toughness and corrosion resistance requirements, it reduced part weight by nearly 40%.

In addition, various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry. Furthermore, the material has outstanding adhesion to Ultramid B3G6 (glass reinforced polyamide 6) as demonstrated in Figure 10 and 11.
