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.

The plan includes a range of options, including repurposing scrap composite rods as fence posts, recycling of scrap glass, and recycling of composite finished goods. Operation Clean Sweep’s overarching goal is to ensure that ever y plastic resin handling operation achieves zero loss of pellet, flake, and powder. Suppliers are expected to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Melt processing of rePrize in PET blends is done at typical polyester conditions. The melt pressure in the extruder should be observed with caution when running ColorMatrix rePrize. If the dose level is too high, it may cause issues with the melt stiffening in the extruder.

In 2014, it was spun off from Closure Systems International (CSI), and currently produces over three billion aluminum closures annually in 28 and 30 millimeter diameters suitable for any type of still, carbonated or alcoholic beverage packaged in glass, PET or aluminum bottles. Sealing of reusable glass bottles with rim imperfections presents an even greater challenge compared to sealing of one-way, disposable bottles. In addition, the GLS TPE from Avient passed migration, extraction and sensory testing by Nehring Institute as required by food contact regulations (EU) 10/2011 and FDA 177.1210.
