See how continuous fiber composites add safety and security to the world we live in. Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber Reinforced Sandwich Panels

Caption: With excellent environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), ECCOH™ 5978 UV formulations are ideal for use in aerial drop cables, which are often under continuous stress from the clamps that hold them in place. Continued growth in fiber optic cables, telecommunications infrastructure and the new IEC 60794-6 standard are increasing the need for LSFOH products. This makes them valuable in aerial drop cables, which are often under continuous stress from the clamps that hold them in place.

Fluoropolymers have high melting points and corresponding high processing temperatures and continuous use temperatures, depending on the specific product. Perfluoroalkoxy  (PFA), for example, is at the high end; it has a typical continuous use temperature of 500°F (260°C) and typically reaches 715°F (380°C) during processing; equipment temperatures can be even higher than the melt temperature3. At the lower end, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) has a typical continuous use temperature of 300°F (150°C) and typically reaches 450°F (232°C) during processing3.  

Accordingly, mark to market adjustments, interest cost and expected return on plan asset components are now included in Other Income (Expense).

Hammerhead™ Marine Panels: with a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. It’s a cost-effective option for paint replacement on polymer parts and creates an exceptional metallic color that continues through the part’s thickness. Lightweighting is also part of this trend, and its Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite continuous fiber tapes and laminates are providing the structural strength to replace metals while amplifying design freedom.
