Take a closer look at these resin families and their role in composite performance Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins combine to create CFRTP tapes and laminates

Reinforcing a thermoplastic with long glass fiber is a cost-effective way to boost mechanical properties of unreinforced resin systems and, even, short fiber solutions. Our long glass fiber reinforced products range from 20-70% fiber content (by weight) across a variety of resin systems ranging from polypropylene to higher performance engineering polymers such as PEEK.

ThermoBallistic™ thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with layers of 0°/90° unidirectional E-glass fiber reinforcements with polyolefin-based resin systems. Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

Also, the surface tension of the resin substrate is very low, complicating the wetting of the surface with a wet ink. The printing and striping inks used with the fluoropolymers PTFE and FEP are formulated from the same resins as the substrate.

Additional featured solutions include Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Additives, Colorant Chromatics™ Conductive Formulations, Colorant Chromatics™ ECTFE / ETFE Colorants, and PEEK and PEI-Siloxane (SILTEM™ resin*) Colorants & Pre-colored Solutions SILTEM™ resins is a trademark of SABIC

Maxxam™ REC recycled polyolefins are formulated with 25-100% recycled resin from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. Maxxam™ BIO bio-based polyolefins are formulated with 15-100% bio-based resin and/or natural filler from renewable plant sources.

Our thermoset solution, GlasArmor™ panels, are constructed with layers of woven E-glass fiber and a proprietary resin system via continuous pultrusion. Thermoset composite sandwich panels manufactured via continuous resin transfer molding for custom engineered performance.

Within this new platform, our range of engineered composite technologies is virtually unmatched, spanning pultrusion, pull winding, CRTM™ panels, sandwich panels, and multilayer laminates in both thermoset and thermoplastic resins,” said Matthew Borowiec, general manager, PolyOne Advanced Composites. Thermoset offerings include:  •    Carbon and glass fiber continuous forming processes including pultrusion, filament winding and pull winding for rods, tubes and profiles •    Continuous Resin Transfer Molded (CRTM™) sandwich panels •    Bar stock, laminates and hybrid composite springs
