• Lightweighting solution offering energy savings and manufacturing
efficiencies
• Reduced downtime associated with poor quality rejections
• Consistent and uniform cell structure in decking material
• Compatibility with mono-core extrusion formula (rice hull bio-filler
and virgin PVC) when used with a chemical foaming additive
• Density control of 0.60-0.65 g/cc in production
• Provided a CFA solution that offered energy
savings, process optimization, and extended
manufacturing run times
• Enabled improved performance results and
enhanced process control
• Allowed tighter tolerance control with uniform cell
structure, eliminating voids and surpassing
density target ($100K savings)
• Increased productivity and aesthetic finish with
secondary operations (sanding)

https://www.avient.com/products/long-fiber-technology/long-vs-short-fiber
Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.
In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.
In addition to a gain in toughness performance LFTs also boost stiffness and strength as well.

In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation.
Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs.
In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,¹ the U.S.
It’s portable enough to be airlifted into remote sites and provides quick protection for troops with no additional equipment support needed.
These panels successfully encapsulate the bullet, preventing harmful ricochets and providing additional safety to the warfighter.
