METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Challe nge Accepted.
This was great for strength and performance, but the yoke was heavy, had long lead times for production, and was nearly $100 per part, making it ripe for a metal-to- plastic conversion.
With lightweighting benefits and design freedom, this high-end composite was shown in mold filling and FEA analysis to maintain the reliability and strength of metal.

Metal gears are susceptible to corrosion, so they degrade over time and need replacing.
EXTEND PART LIFE AND REDUCE MAINTENANCE LubriOne™ internally lubricated formulations have similar structural performance characteristics to metal, making them an ideal alternative for conveyor belt gears.
MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY LubriOne™ polymers offer greater design freedom compared to metal and improved manufacturing efficiency.

Move Over Metal Composites for Lightweighting, Reinforcing, and Replacing Metal in Automotive Applications APPLICATION BULLETIN Composites offer higher strength-to-weight ratios exceeding the structural performance of traditional materials while significantly reducing weight—up to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter than aluminum.
Fiber reinforced polymer composites are exceptional alternatives to traditional materials such as wood, ceramic, and metal, enabling designers to create lighter weight structural components for increased lifetime performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Lightweight • High strength & stiffness • Excellent fatigue & impact resistance • Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio • Strong adhesive properties • Chemical and corrosion resistance • Reduced NVH compared to metals • Rapid cycle times • Low VOCs VALUE SOLUTION • Replaces metal without sacrificing strength • Reduced vehicle weight improves fuel economy, reduces energy consumption • Selective reinforcement adds strength in high stress areas • Easily integrated & streamlined manufacturing process • Easy bonding to various materials • Increases structure & puncture resistance • Can be used in injection and compression overmolding operations • Enables thin-walling and material reduction by adding reinforcement to traditional materials • Able to be re-formed, reused, recycled USES & APPLICATIONS • Interior structural reinforcement such as walls, load floors, headliners, door panels, storage, storage lids, and trim pieces • External body panels • Front end and door module reinforcement • Service access cover reinforcement • Interior hatch covers GORDON COMPOSITES™ & GLASFORMS™ THERMOSET COMPOSITES Gordon Composites™ and Glasforms™ thermoset composites are made with proprietary resin/ fiber reinforcement technologies.
