Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Showcases Expansive Fiber Colorants & Additives Portfolio at ITMA 2019 PolyOne fiber colorant and additive solutions now span five brands, including solid masterbatch options for traditional and melt spun fiber from recent acquisitions Magenta Master Fibers and IQAP. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Evaluating the Replacement of Aluminum with Long Fiber Composites Key Factors for Making an Informed Decision As costs and competition increase, many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are exploring ways to maintain profit margins. LFTs use reinforcement fibers (e.g., glass or carbon) that are in parallel alignment and of uniform length (typically 12 mm), offering metal replacement performance. Injection molded long fiber composites deliver comparable performance characteristics to metals and offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios.

Advanced Composites | Lightweighting Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are composite materials that offer significant benefits for designing high-energy-density enclosures. Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFTs)  

The new Gravi-Tech grades are available in polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), or nylon 6 (PA6) formulations that have densities similar to traditional metals. 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
