The resins have bio-based content up to 95 percent, as calculated to ASTM D6866 standard.
https://www.avient.com/news/avient-launches-additional-resound-bio-based-tpes-formulated-renewable-plant-derived-content
These new grades contain 35 to 75 percent bio content, validated using ASTM C6866-21 method B.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-01/Glasforms Dowel Bar Application Overview.pdf
Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel bars
offer advantages over traditional steel or epoxy-
coated steel bars:
• Electromagnetic transparency: ideal for high-
speed toll roads to prevent interference
• Corrosion resistance: the GFRP material
will not rust or corrode in salt or alkaline
environments
• Light weight: less than one-third the weight
of steel
• Does not bond to concrete: eliminates
the need for sleeves or grease to allow for
expansion and contraction
Glasforms™ composite dowel bars are tested and
approved to meet the following requirements:
• ASTM 1356 Glass Transition Temperature
• ASTM D570 Water Absorption
• ASTM 2344 Short Beam Strength
• ASTM 7617 Transverse Shear Strength
Glasforms™ Composite Dowel Bars
