Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with strong, lightweight and sustainable thermoplastics

PolyOne’s robust glass- and carbon fiber-filled formulations retain aesthetic appeal in metal replacement and structural applications, while also offering  higher stiffness, impact strength and surface finish than short-fiber filled materials.

Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

OFF-ROAD VEHICLE MANUFACTURER E N G I N E B R A C K E T • Exceptional structural properties with extremely high stiffness and strength across a broad temperature range (-40 to 160°F) • Excellent creep resistance and fatigue endurance • Lower weight with no reduction in performance • Reduced weight by 40% with zero fatigue failures during extensive field testing • Provided technical support to optimize design for metal-to-composite conversion • Delivered composite solution with similar system cost and more robust performance than failure prone aluminum version Complēt™ Long Carbon Fiber PA66 Composite KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

INDUSTRIAL FAN MANUFACTURER A X I A L F A N B L A D E • Replace aluminium alloy • Reduce thickness and weight of fan blade • Withstand 920 Pa of static pressure, high relative humidity (90-95%), and max temperature of 104ºF • Redesigned the 1600mm blade utilizing 3D modeling and mold flow analysis services from Avient Design • Simulated mechanical load to determine which new design would provide optimal performance • Increased strength using a carbon fiber grade, enabling injection-moldable parts and streamlined production • Reduced blade thickness to 35% of the original and blade weight from 7.71 lbs to 1.76 lbs (77% decrease) • Improved overall efficiency of fan with a thinner, lighter blade that cuts through the air Complēt Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?
