The new line was installed at Avient’s Asia regional headquarters in Shanghai to help meet the increased demand for composite materials in applications that require excellent impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength. With the composites market transitioning from traditional materials like aluminum alloy or steel to long fiber composites, we are seeing an increasing need for an integrated approach that includes material formulation, component design, and forming process," says Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia at Avient.

In synthetic fibers, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material from plastic bottles was the first recycled content used in textile products such as sportswear and technical textiles. Because they are unique to a manufacturer and product line, the confirmation of their presence in the material will substantiate the origin of the material to the specified manufacturer. Taggants can be used for different materials and different industries.  

In contrast, short fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials contain reinforcing fibers of various short lengths (approximately 1mm in length on average) that are randomly orientated in the resin/pellet.   Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics. Higher fiber aspect ratio provides the thermoplastic polymer with more ability to transfer energy to the stronger reinforcing fibers when the material comes under stress load and also to dissipate that energy over a wider area, therefore greatly improving impact performance.  

Use a higher modulus substrate material Provide a 0.003" to 0.005" (0.076 mm to 0.127 mm) interference when using plastic inserts or substrates, to take into account shrinkage, sinks and tolerances. Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is a metal or other non-compressible material.
