CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE
Challe
nge Accepted.
This was great for strength and performance, but the
yoke was heavy, had long lead times for production, and
was nearly $100 per part, making it ripe for a metal-to-
plastic conversion.
With lightweighting benefits and design freedom, this
high-end composite was shown in mold filling and
FEA analysis to maintain the reliability and strength of
metal.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-07/lubrione-for-conveyor-belt-gears-application-bulletin.pdf
Metal gears are susceptible to corrosion, so they
degrade over time and need replacing.
EXTEND PART LIFE AND REDUCE
MAINTENANCE
LubriOne™ internally lubricated formulations have
similar structural performance characteristics
to metal, making them an ideal alternative for
conveyor belt gears.
MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY
LubriOne™ polymers offer greater design freedom
compared to metal and improved manufacturing
efficiency.

Move Over Metal
Composites for Lightweighting, Reinforcing, and Replacing Metal
in Automotive Applications
APPLICATION BULLETIN
Composites offer higher strength-to-weight ratios
exceeding the structural performance of traditional
materials while significantly reducing weight—up
to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter
than aluminum.
Fiber reinforced polymer composites
are exceptional alternatives to traditional
materials such as wood, ceramic, and
metal, enabling designers to create
lighter weight structural components
for increased lifetime performance, and
improved fuel efficiency.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Lightweight
• High strength & stiffness
• Excellent fatigue & impact resistance
• Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
• Strong adhesive properties
• Chemical and corrosion resistance
• Reduced NVH compared to metals
• Rapid cycle times
• Low VOCs
VALUE SOLUTION
• Replaces metal without sacrificing strength
• Reduced vehicle weight improves fuel
economy, reduces energy consumption
• Selective reinforcement adds strength in high
stress areas
• Easily integrated & streamlined manufacturing
process
• Easy bonding to various materials
• Increases structure & puncture resistance
• Can be used in injection and compression
overmolding operations
• Enables thin-walling and material reduction by
adding reinforcement to traditional materials
• Able to be re-formed, reused, recycled
USES & APPLICATIONS
• Interior structural reinforcement such as walls,
load floors, headliners, door panels, storage,
storage lids, and trim pieces
• External body panels
• Front end and door module reinforcement
• Service access cover reinforcement
• Interior hatch covers

obtenidos fuera de zonas de conflicto;
• participen en el proceso de diligencia debida
de las cadenas de suministro siguiendo
un marco de diligencia debida reconocido
nacional o internacionalmente;
• cuando se les pida, informen a Avient sobre
su proceso de diligencia debida y certifiquen
que los metales 3TG suministrados a Avient
procedentes de los Países cubiertos se
obtuvieron fuera de zonas de conflictos; e
• informen inmediatamente a Avient de
cualquier cambio en la cadena de suministro
relacionado con el origen de los metales 3TG o

Informe a Avient de los cambios financieros,

Trabajando de cerca con el productor, el equipo de Avient
recomendó personalizar una fórmula de material de
alta densidad como alternativa al metal.
Moldear la tapa
por el proceso de inyección con este material llamado
Gravi-Tech™, proporciona la apariencia, la sensación y
el peso del metal y mantiene una percepción premium.
El cambio de moldeado de metal a moldeado por
inyección también permitiría el ahorro en el costo de
procesamiento y un aumento en la libertad
de diseño.
