CASE STUDY: FIBER-LINE™ HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINEERED FIBERS Challe nge Accepted. INNOVATIVE CARBON FIBER SOLUTIONS FOR SG PIPE REPLACEMENT To learn more about Fiber-Line high performance engineered fibers, visit fiber-line.com. THE SOLUTION Avient worked with the company to develop a novel reinforcement material comprised of Avient Fiber-Line™ carbon fiber tows in which the filaments were manipulated to increase strength and improve abrasion resistance.

Avient Sustainable Fiber Additives: include bluesign® SYSYEM PARTNER colorants and recycled fiber solutions with Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certifications, and biodegradable fiber solutions with EN13432 certifications. It provides the ZDHC MRSL level 3 for Avient fiber color and additive solutions.  Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator: a tool that is third-party-certified by TÜV Rheinland, developed to evaluate the carbon footprint of Avient’s specialized and sustainable material solutions to help companies address the growing demand to create and meet sustainability commitments, understand the environmental impact of products, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions, particularly for upstream materials, and aligns with the ISO 14067:2018 standard for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product   Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports   Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility  

This bio alternative offers the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint. This cutting-edge tool offers an important data point for the carbon footprint of Avient’s materials so customers can better understand the environmental impact of products, meet sustainability goals, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions. Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Acquires Magenta Master Fibers Specialty acquisition broadens solutions portfolio of colorant and additives technologies for fiber applications  Global Color, Additives and Inks segment, which last month unveiled its revolutionary new ColorMatrix™ Fiber Colorant Solutions that provide late-stage color injection in fiber applications utilizing liquid solutions. 

Compared to traditional pole materials, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are more durable, require less maintenance, and provide a longer service life. Our diverse portfolio of purpose-engineered electrical components include Glasforms™ fiberglass reinforced insulator rods, guy insulators, crossarms, and pole profiles that meet the specific and rigorous demands of the electrical utility industry, and have been trusted by major utility product manufacturers for decades. FRP data are from tests--nominal fiber stress is at 5% LEL; modulus of elasticity is at mean.
