https://www.avient.com/news/avient-expands-long-fiber-composites-portfolio-using-recycled-content
Avient announces new long fiber reinforced composites formulated with post-industrial recycled resin content, for applications including office furnishings and outdoor adventure gear.
Formulations are available globally in black and natural color and in typical reinforcement percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations.
Formulations also can use varying levels of post-industrial recycled resin content

Fiber composites, more commonly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, are polymer materials that have been reinforced with fiber.
What are some common applications for polymer composites?
Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites.

Formulations
typically feature a combination of exothermic
and endothermic agents which, when under
thermal decomposition, cause gas to evolve
forming a cellular structure in the polymer matrix.
Excelite additives are not subject to significant
thermal exposure in the manufacturing process, so
the formulations are optimized for decomposition
during the customer process.

EXCELITE - COMMON FORMULATIONS
USAGE RATES
Typically Excelite additives are dosed between 0.2% and 1.2% depending on the polymer, application and the
density requirement.

Since
polymers interact differently with laser energy,
making them more or less suitable for laser welding,
special polymer solutions can be used to enhance
a polymer’s ability to interact with the laser energy
and achieve a good weld.
Ready-to-use formulations
can be offered to solve any dispersion issues.
