Examples include:
• Unique technologies that improve the
recyclability of products and enable recycled
content to be incorporated, thus advancing a
more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation and reduce carbon footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase
energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural
resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G
network accessibility

Overview
• FIBER-LINE® extrusion is the process of
forming a polymer jacket of various thickness
around a core of high-performance fibers
• Fiber core can be parallel, twisted, or in
rope form
• Polymer jacket selected to optimize flex,
chemical, temperature, & UV resistance
Key Features
• .50mm – 30.00mm size capability
• Protect the core from mechanical,
environmental, and chemical damage
• Extend life of cable or strength member
• Enhance flame & chemical resistance
• Improve UV resistance
• Many polymers available

Carbon fiber increases modulus more than glass or natural fibers and a composite with 50% fiber will be stiffer than one containing 30%.
With carbon fiber reinforced composites there can be additional perceived value added to products by consumers for utilizing “high tech” materials.
