Homepage // News Center // Carbon Fiber Underbody Braces Make Corvette Driving Experience Even More Exhilarating The Glasforms business unit formulated a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite material for the C7 Corvette Z06 and non-Z06 underbody braces. The carbon fiber-reinforced composite part was 17% lighter than the stock aluminum part, and the composite held up well in GM's extensive vibration, shake and road test regimen.

CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ CONTINUOUS FIBER THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Challe nge Accepted. The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The glass fiber orientation provided lightweight strength in all directions while meeting the specific thickness required for the tube structure.

Maxxam™ formulations are based on polypropylene and polyethylene resins and can be filled and reinforced to satisfy the required performance characteristic. They can be blended with glass, minerals, impact modifiers, colorants and stabilizer systems, providing customized solutions to meet specific application needs. High density polymer-metal composites are an ideal alternative to lead and other traditional metals
