Carbon fiber increases modulus more than glass or natural fibers and a composite with 50% fiber will be stiffer than one containing 30%. When deploying long fiber composites as a substitute for other materials, one needs to look beyond material cost alone. Flame Retardant – Increase product safety by including flame retardants to provide halogen-free fire resistant/smoke density/smoke toxicity (FST) and UL94 compliance. 

Culture of Safety Occupational Safety & Health Safety

Where there is a need for new internal standards or updates to existing ones, working groups comprised of regional and corporate EH&S experts are established. As cybersecurity risks continue to evolve, we must protect against threats against our data, facilities and operations.
