Complēt™ PKE Formulations Complēt™ PKE formulations are long glass fiber reinforced polyketone solutions for structural applications using metal today. They also offer over 2x higher impact properties than short fiber reinforced solutions, while maintaining impact properties in cold and demanding environments. Grades are available in black and natural with 30%–50% long glass fiber, with or without a flame retardant, allowing customers to customize performance requirements for structural applications.

The customer chose to use a Fiber-Line™ custom fiber formulation by Avient to produce a pipe liner. The resulting material was a seamless integration of over 1,000 meters of woven composite fabric reinforcement, providing a combination of flexibility and strength.   Learn more about Fiber-Line custom fiber solutions for industrial applications
