This additive protects the door from cracking as it comes into contact with copper particles over time.

COMPOSITE BRACE SAVES WEIGHT, IMPROVES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) THE CHALLENGE A major US automotive OEM makes extensive use of lightweight composites materials. The automated pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with consistent, uniform properties. Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

PIRANHA IS PROPELLED TO PERFORM WITH LONG FIBER COMPOSITES LONG FIBER COMPOSITES ADD TOUGHNESS AND DESIGN FLEXIBILITY © 2022, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more, please contact Avient at 1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit www.avient.com. 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.
