Strategically positioned unidirectional tape inserts overmolded with Complēt™ long glass fiber reinforced nylon composite provide fatigue endurance to allow part reduction for office chair Long glass fiber reinforced engineering resins with enhanced mechanical properties that obtain metal- like structural capabilities.

The unique positioning of the continuous glass fibers within the Polystrand™ material makes the very thin profile of the FlexSpring™ composite insoles possible,” said Gordon. They fit comfortably in most athletic shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber properties providing comfort and performance benefits to the user.

Complēt™ PKE Formulations Complēt™ PKE formulations are long glass fiber reinforced polyketone solutions for structural applications using metal today. Grades are available in black and natural with 30%–50% long glass fiber, with or without a flame retardant, allowing customers to customize performance requirements for structural applications.

If filling problems exist in thin walled parts, adding flow channels or minor changes in wall thickness can alter the flow. In some cases, it may be necessary to add a second gate to properly fill the parts. Vents should be placed at the last place to fill and in areas where weld lines occur.

Eight of the new grades can be overmolded on polypropylene (PP) and the ninth grade bonds to both PP and polyethylene (PE). Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa. The failure mode is cohesive on PP and adhesive on all other substrates. TPE-1A adhesion values overmolded onto PP, PC and ABS over a wide range of melt temperatures.
