The first propeller designs used a 60% long
glass fiber reinforced nylon 6 composite, and testing
on higher horsepower motors was successful.
Complēt™ MT long glass fiber
reinforced nylon 6 composite was selected because of
the extra durability provided, making this solution ideal
for demanding applications like Piranha’s propellers.
The addition of a toughening agent to the long fiber
composite provided improved vibration damping,
according to Stahl.

CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE
Challe
nge Accepted.
Spurred by the need for high strength and low
weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long
glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution.
Using the new Complēt long glass fiber nylon
formulation, the redesigned yoke underwent testing
at Bettcher to simulate 500,000 run cycles.
