Avient’s Glasforms™ and Gordon Composites™ carbon fiber composite materials consist of
thermoset continuous fiber polymer rods, bars, laminates and custom shapes used in a variety
of applications that require superior technical characteristics.
Carbon fibers combined with vinyl ester or epoxy resin
create a composite material that, like all composites,
has higher performance properties than the individual
materials alone.
