Predictions
Gartner predicts circular economies will replace linear economies in 10 years,
noting that supply chain leaders must adapt to circular models in order to
keep up in a marketplace with a growing emphasis on sustainability.
For example,
companies may explore ways to collaborate to reuse materials and packaging,
and consumer goods brands will likely continue testing sustainable refill models.

CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ MT LONG FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS
Challe
nge Accepted.
And, because they are formed by injection molding,
long fiber reinforced thermoplastics can be easily
customized to specific design requirements.
Avient’s Complēt MT composite materials enable up to
20% more impact resistance than standard long fiber
reinforced materials.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Rods, Bars and Laminates
For Strengthening, Stiffening and Lightweighting
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) products
from Avient are continuous fiber polymer rods,
bars and laminates used in a variety of structural
strengthening, engineered weight reduction, and
repair applications in multiple industries.
The highly
uniform and parallel reinforcing fibers result
in superior mechanical property translation,
and customized profile geometries offer part
consolidation and simplification of assembly.

CASE STUDY: GORDON COMPOSITES™ VIBRATORY CONVEYOR SPRINGS
Challe
nge Accepted.
Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of
choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural
strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and
chemical exposure.
Drawing on over 65 years of
composite expertise in manufacturing high performance
archery bow limbs - which require consistent, deep
deflection under high loads each time the bowstring is
pulled - the Gordon Composites team has translated
this technology into continuous fiber reinforced
composite springs that are specifically engineered to
meet the rigorous demands of vibratory conveyors.

Originally developed for protection from mortar
fire, fiber-reinforced composite panels offer
superior ballistic resistance at less than 25% of the
weight of a comparable steel panel.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GlasArmor™ thermoset panels are constructed
from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber
reinforcements with a proprietary resin system.
ThermoBallistic™
thermoplastic panels are thermally formed
with layers of 0°/90° unidirectional E-glass fiber
reinforcements with polyolefin-based resin systems
and are available for protection to UL 752 level 3.
