https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/article/continuous-fiber-reinforced-thermoplastic-composites?ind[]=6595
Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers.
The resin has a lower tensile modulus than the reinforcement and will fracture at lower loads in this direction.
Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

Fiber producers can also add
the tracer concentate to shredded waste polyester
and polyamide, and convert them together into
polymer pellets.
KEY BENEFITS
• Unique and personalized tracer for customer/
product lines
• Suitable for polyester and polyamide (nylon),
including recycled grades; possibility to develop
solutions for bio-polymers
• No impact on spinnability, color or yarn properties

Avient’s new sustainable solutions are its breakthrough PCR Color Prediction Service for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, and its new polyolefin antioxidants, Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling.
Using proprietary software, Avient experts measure resin characteristics to identify the gamut of colors that can be successfully reproduced in a specific PCR-based material.
The antioxidant can be added to PCR content early in the recycling process or incorporated in virgin resin to prepare it for future recycling.
