CASE STUDY: FIBER-LINE™ HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINEERED FIBERS Challe nge Accepted. INNOVATIVE CARBON FIBER SOLUTIONS FOR SG PIPE REPLACEMENT To learn more about Fiber-Line high performance engineered fibers, visit fiber-line.com. THE SOLUTION Avient worked with the company to develop a novel reinforcement material comprised of Avient Fiber-Line™ carbon fiber tows in which the filaments were manipulated to increase strength and improve abrasion resistance.

To meet the underbody brace requirements, Our Glasforms™ technologies were recommended to produce continuous fiber-reinforced braces. The automated pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with consistent, uniform properties. Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.
