CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE
Challe
nge Accepted.
Spurred by the need for high strength and low
weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long
glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution.
Using the new Complēt long glass fiber nylon
formulation, the redesigned yoke underwent testing
at Bettcher to simulate 500,000 run cycles.
