Long carbon and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics are structural injection molding composites with metal replacement performance. We manufacture specialty long fiber composite pellets using a proprietary pultrusion process that melt impregnates continuous carbon, glass or other specialty fibers with thermoplastic polymer matrices ranging from polypropylene (PP) to PEEK to achieve high performance.  Long Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

Novoloid fibers are composed of 76% carbon, 18% oxygen, and 6% hydrogen. Novoloid can also be used as a precursor to carbon fiber. Fiber-Line Fiber Selection Guide

Pultrusion: Composite Fiber Rods Carbon Fiber Long Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

To meet the underbody brace requirements, Avient’s Glasforms™ technologies were recommended to produce continuous fiber-reinforced braces. The automated pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with consistent, uniform properties.  For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.
