Reliability and resilience of electrical transmission & distribution components gets a boost with fiber-reinforced composites Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are prized for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, durability, and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental exposures. Because of their inherent dielectric properties, glass fiber reinforced composites have long been used in electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters and other pole line hardware.

Avient Expands Long Fiber Composites Portfolio Using Recycled Content Avient announces new long fiber reinforced composites formulated with post-industrial recycled resin content, for applications including office furnis Avient introduces recycled-content composite materials and showcases advanced composites and engineered fibers at JEC World 2022 in Paris.

Carbon fiber pultrusions are exceptionally lighter than metal and other materials. Materials and processes such as fiber type, fiber volume, resin type, and surface veils and treatments can be engineered to meet specific properties and application requirements.  This means that they are weaker in the direction perpendicular to the fibers.

CRTM™ (continuous resin transfer molding) panels are high quality composite sandwich panels with tailored, multi-axial fiber reinforcements, high-fiber volume contents and very low void content. Laminate skin face-sheets are also available with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins. This is possible because, unlike a pultrusion process where the resin is applied to the fiber before it enters the die, with CRTM the resin is injected directly into the die for better control of fiber alignment and resin kinetics.
