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. For more technical details on the structural performance of reinforced polymers using CAE, automotive design engineers may access material data and models for Avient’s fiber-reinforced solutions using Hexagon’s Digimat-MX Tool.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Hydrophobic Solutions for PP Nonwovens Polypropylene nonwovens are used for a variety of applications, some of which require water repellency. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes hydrophobic solutions for polypropylene nonwovens that provide immediate and long-lasting water repellency.

To create a softer surface, many textile manufacturers are brushing fibers. No ink is applied to the fabric, but this step lays down fibers and creates a smoother surface, eliminating the need for an extra print stroke.
