ThermoBallistic™ thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with layers of 0°/90° unidirectional E-glass fiber reinforcements with polyolefin-based resin systems. Glass Content Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

The resulting portfolio includes a diverse range of thermoplastic and thermoset continuous-fiber carbon and glass reinforced materials that offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios as well as unmatched flexibility. Thermoset offerings include:  •    Carbon and glass fiber continuous forming processes including pultrusion, filament winding and pull winding for rods, tubes and profiles •    Continuous Resin Transfer Molded (CRTM™) sandwich panels •    Bar stock, laminates and hybrid composite springs About PolyOne Advanced Composites Created in 2016, this platform within PolyOne Specialty Engineered Materials consists of Glasforms™, Gordon Glass™, Gordon Composites™ and Polystrand™ branded businesses.

GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable. They are constructed from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements combined with a proprietary resin system in a continuous pultrusion manufacturing process.

This choice was based on the material’s chemical compatibility with the makeup formulation along with its REACH SVHC compliance, sealing properties, and superior overmolding adhesion to polypropylene.

Glass fiber-reinforced polyester is the most prevalent composite used in boats and ships while aramid fiber reinforcement is used in key areas of high-performance sailboats, such as the bow and keel sections.  Glass fiber-reinforced composites are also used in other electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters, and pole line hardware. Organo sheets are another kind of laminate and can be made from carbon, glass, or aramid fiber fabrics. 

The limitation for inks used to mark fluoropolymer substrates is that they have to be able to withstand high curing temperatures, as this is the adhesion mechanism. This provides a very good adhesion to the fluoropolymer, and an extremely long-lasting mark. LND dispersion could also be selected as an antistatic coating on PTFE-impregnated glass cloth, or as a resistance carrier for heating bands.
