Metal Replacement Solution 

Complēt™ long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are structural injection molding composites with metal replacement performance.  This product line encompasses a large net of specialty solutions that are tailored to solve light weighting initiatives for a variety of industries.  Fiber reinforcements include long glass fiber, long carbon fiber and long hybrid (glass + carbon) fiber.  Resin technologies utilized in these formulations include a breadth of options including a variety of polyamides, rigid thermoplastic polyurethanes and specialty resin solutions (such as PES, PEI, PEEK). 
 
These products showcase or continually advancing technologies and formulation capabilities, continually expanding new solutions into new markets eager for metal replacement alternatives.  This includes our most recent new product offerings of Complet PKE, Complet Moisture Resistant Nylons and Complet REC grades.
 
With appropriate material selection and part design optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of components up to 40% compared to aluminum.  Additional benefits include high strength and stiffness performance, creep resistance, fatigue endurance, elevated and low temperature performance, dimensional stability, and corrosion and chemical resistance.

Customized, single-pellet solutions are highly encouraged – utilize our formulation expertise to make your production process as efficient as possible.  Color matching, UV performance enhancements and lubrication additives are just a few of the many performance additive solutions that we offer.

Beneficios

  • Improved strength and toughness vs. short fiber
  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Retains performance across low and elevated temperatures
  • Load carrying creep and fatigue resistance
  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Very good corrosion and chemical resistance
  • Can be processed on standard injection molding machines

Properties and Comparisons

Complēt long fiber pellets are cut to a 12mm chop length, with unidirectional fiber reinforcement throughout the pellet (12mm pellet = 12mm fiber length).  See how the fiber length directly correlates to increased stiffness, strength and impact performance.  Pellet lengths can be tailored between 6mm and 15mm, but 12 typical length is 12.

Complet thermoplastic solutions have a high strength-to-weight ratio, allowing them to go head-to-head with traditional metal performance. 

Complēt long fiber solutions have a significant jump in mechanical properties when compared to an unreinforced resin or a short fiber reinforced resin – most notably in toughness.
