Carbon fibers combined with vinyl ester or epoxy resin create a composite material that, like all composites, has higher performance properties than the individual materials alone. FIBER + RESIN = COMPOSITE Carbon fiber is formed by bonding carbon atoms together to form a long chain. STRONG, LIGHTWEIGHT ALTERNATIVE TO METAL CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES Thomas Edison used carbon fiber as light bulb filament in the late 1800s.

Maxxam™ formulations are based on polypropylene and polyethylene resins and can be filled and reinforced to satisfy the required performance characteristic. They can be blended with glass, minerals, impact modifiers, colorants and stabilizer systems, providing customized solutions to meet specific application needs. High density polymer-metal composites are an ideal alternative to lead and other traditional metals

This new reSound REC TPE is a 65 Shore A hardness and contains 25 percent PCR content from recycled polypropylene (PP). 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

CLEVELAND – September 9, 2024 – Dyneema®, owned by Avient Corporation, a leading provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, is proud to provide ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, unidirectional (UD) composite fabric, and film materials that are manufactured without intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for hard and soft ballistic armor, helmets, and vehicle armor. For the American market, Dyneema® fiber – with its unrivaled strength-to-weight ratio – is manufactured in Greenville, North Carolina. 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

Our high fiber volume, glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM) thermoset sandwich panels can streamline production and reduce system costs by eliminating assembly steps such as welding, drilling, bolting and riveting. Our composite panels are custom engineered by varying core thicknesses to increase or decrease stiffness; by varying core materials (including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods) to increase or decrease weight; by varying fiber to modify the stiffness-to-weight ratio; and by varying the base polymer to increase or decrease strength TYPICAL SANDWICH PANEL PROPERTIES SPECIMEN TYPICAL SKIN THICKNESS (in) TYPICAL WEIGHT (lb/ft2) TYPICAL PANEL THICKNESS (in) TYPICAL FLEXURAL FAILURE LOAD* (lbf) Glass/Thermoplastic Skinned, PET Foam Core 0.05 0.75–0.85 1.0–1.5 135–195 Glass/Thermoset Skinned, PET Foam Core 0.05 1.0–1.2 0.5 120–150 Glass/Thermoset Skinned, PET Foam Core 0.06 1.6–1.7 1.0–1.5 340–395 Glass/Thermoset Skinned, Balsa Core 0.12 1.2–1.4 0.50–0.75 850–1500 Glass/Thermoset Skinned, Balsa Core 0.09 3.0 2.25 3000

METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Ch all en ge A cc ep te d. Spurred by the need for high strength and low weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution. Using the new Complēt long glass fiber nylon formulation, the redesigned yoke underwent testing at Bettcher to simulate 500,000 run cycles.

Complēt™ REC Long Fiber Reinforced Composites Incorporating Recycled Resin The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, Complēt REC long fiber composites can be deployed as an alternative to metals to obtain valuable weight reductions. They process easily across all standard fiber loading ranges of long glass, long carbon, or hybrid combinations of fiber.
