This is due to the proportion of fibers in the load direction—in both cases, 50% of the layers are oriented in the longitudinal direction, resulting in similar tensile modulus.

ESG-related assets are expected to make up 50% of all globally managed assets by 2024 (Deloitte).

This is 50 to 100 times greater than standard thermoplastics and 1/5 that of cast aluminum.

This is due to the proportion of fibers in the load direction—in both cases, 50% of the layers are oriented in the longitudinal direction, resulting in similar tensile modulus.

Directional variations of as much as 50 percent have been observed in the tensile modulus of the material.

Directional variations of as much as 50 percent have been observed in the tensile modulus of the material.

Developed in Europe these grades are based on PA6 and PA66 and are formulated with 50-100% PIR nylon (recycled carpeting)
