Long fiber composites, in particular, are well-suited for replacing metal, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and the ease of injection molding, which can expand design options and streamline processing steps.
Advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, when complemented by in-depth design and material knowledge, facilitates precise prediction of the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer materials.

New LubriOne Formulations from PolyOne Improve Processability and Performance
A change to the formulation used to manufacture LubriOne anti-wear solutions has led to:
• improved processability
• improved surface finish on parts
• lower densities
• improved impact performance
These changes have not affected the excellent lubrication and mechanical properties of the original formulation.
