Carbon fiber production took off during the 1960’s but the high price of the material limited its initial usage. Traditionally, carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more. Composition The majority of production carbon fibers are made from the precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN).

What if you had more design freedom when tackling your next big idea for water sports by using advanced composite materials, thus passing on a lighter, higher performing product to the consumer? Give them an experience to remember with products built on top-quality materials from Avient. Soft-touch thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) overmolded onto a lightweight paddleshaft made of Avient’s advanced composite materials can help add to the experience and avoid annoyances such as blisters.
