Pultrusion and Continuous Filament Winding Technology | Challenge Accepted , Lightweighting , Transportation To meet the underbody brace requirements, Avient’s Glasforms™ technologies were recommended to produce continuous fiber-reinforced braces. Engineers chose this third option because it met all of the technical requirements and had the best combination of properties.

The team at Rolatube saw an opportunity to leverage their rollable composite technology to reimagine the typical telescoping tripod design. The team at Rolatube had a few non-negotiable performance requirements when considering composite material options for the tripod legs. The glass fiber orientation provided lightweight strength in all directions while meeting the specific thickness required for the tube structure.

Heightened disinfection requires materials that retain mechanical and physical performance in the face of these effective, but harsh, chemistries,” said Matthew Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
