Manufacturers save time and labor by eliminating the need for peel ply or other surface preparation such as grinding or abrading, while achieving superior adhesion compared to these typical processes. Pultrusions manufactured using these formulations can also enable the use of adhesives to replace mechanical fasteners, reducing complexity and improving fatigue performance. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Improves bonding performance of epoxy adhesives in installation of pultruded parts • Eliminates need for surface preparation with abrasion or removal of peel ply layer prior to application of adhesives • Reduces overall system costs by saving time and labor on secondary processes • Enables replacement of mechanical fasteners with epoxy adhesives for improved fatigue performance and reduced weight • Simplifies manufacturing processes and reduces part complexity PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes PRODUCT BULLETIN Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes are composite formulations composed of a wide range of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance fiber and composite tape performance— such as twisting and coating—and subsequently custom manufactured into a tape cured with a thermoplastic resin. This literature shall NOT operate as permission, recommendation, or inducement to practice any patented invention without permission of the patent owner. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Custom Manufacturing Choice of Fiber Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tape Twist or Coat Fiber CUSTOM DESIGN AND ENGINEERING Combine your fiber of choice with Fiber-Line materials to enhance performance via coating or twisting processes before being formed into a thermoplastic tape. This manufacturing process enhances the thermoplastic tape’s mechanical and thermal performance for specific application needs.
