Homepage // News Center // Bettcher Industries Replaces Aluminum Motor Housing with Avient Complēt™ Long Fiber Composite Avient identified its Complēt™ long glass fiber reinforced nylon composite as the right material to deliver the required strength and enhanced performance. Backed by these results, Avient formulated a pre-colored, long-fiber material to match Bettcher’s existing product palette.

Avient technologies for lighting systems control heat, allow for maximum output, and withstand the harshest conditions that the most rugged job sites can dish out. Lighting systems that incorporate materials from Avient’s portfolio of long- and continuous-fiber composites are more likely to maintain the integrity of their design Carbonateds

While PK and PA are both semi- crystalline and contain an abundance of carbon and oxygen, polyketone lacks the nitrogen present in the amide bond of the nylon backbone. In addition, PK can improve the sustainability of a product through a lower carbon footprint because the production of the resin emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO₂) than nylon.

They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.
