Avient produced the continuous composite-profile braces using pultrusion technology.
Initially, the Avient team evaluated several composite types and identified a solution with optimal performance.
The carbon fiber-reinforced composite part was 17% lighter than the stock aluminum part, and the composite held up well in GM's extensive vibration, shake and road test regimen.

This often involves food contact
approvals that extend beyond the EU or the USA,
and take into consideration specific regions or other
food safety standards.
Eco-conscious packaging
compositions are preferred by customers, pushing
convertors and brand owners to use sustainable
materials—perhaps partially based on renewable
or bio-derived sources—that also ensure food
contact compliance.
Cesa™ & OnCap™ Anti-blocking Additives
In order to prevent self-adhesion of plastic films or
sheets, anti-blocking additives reduce the surface
coefficient of friction by creating a slightly rougher
or smoother surface.

CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES
Challe
nge Accepted.
More than
25 years ago, Gordon and Jeff tried to develop a
commercially viable, molded composite outer sole
for a running shoe using carbon fiber and fiberglass
composites.
Working with Avient, Gordon and Jeff developed
the patent-pending FlexSpring™ insole using a tri-ply
unidirectional fiberglass laminate, combined with
neoprene foam sheet material, and die-cut to shape.
