Learn about long fiber technology and why it’s replacing metal. Metal Replacement with Long Fiber Thermoplastics Webinar Learn about the advantages long fiber reinforced thermoplastics in metal replacement applications in this on-demand webinar

Resilience™ LS High Reflectance PVC performs on par with metallized plastics, such as polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and offers higher light reflectance without metallization. Production costs are reduced by eliminating the vacuum metallization step. PHOTO CAPTION: Resilience™ LS High Reflectance PVC, one of two new grades from PolyOne, offers higher light reflectance and other performance benefits than typical metalized PC

Replacing metal cuts heat sink costs for LED lighting assemblies As part of their search for an alternative, Mars Otomotiv’s engineers met with Avient to explore non-metal options for the part. Mars Otomotiv owned the tooling used to form the metal heat sinks.

Provides integrated EMI/RFI shielding on par with metals Provides structural performance that can go head-to-head with metals at a fraction of the weight The design and lightweighting benefits of thermoplastics with the conductive performance of metal

Strong, lightweight alternative for metal and wood applications They are stronger, lighter and more durable alternatives for many applications traditionally made with wood or metal. Get fast facts on these strong, lightweight alternatives to metal

Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics Historically, metal has been used to manufacture parts such as running boards, side steps, bed extenders, and mounting kits (levers, brackets). Facilitated lightweighting with a 50% long glass fiber PA66 thermoplastic that matched the performance of the incumbent metal part
