CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT I N F R A S T R U C T U R E R E P A I R • Alternative to steel for reduced weight and improved corrosion resistance • Surface modification capabilities to improve concrete adhesion • Superior strength-to-weight ratio • Durable, long-lasting performance to extend service life • Provided peel ply and other surface modification capabilities that comply with specific CA regulations and allowed for better adhesion with concrete • Performed with higher strength-to-weight ratio than typical steel alternatives • Prolonged service life by resisting corrosion and dampening vibration Glasforms™ Carbon Fiber Composites KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Alternating longitudinal (axial) fibers for flexural & tensile strength and circumferential (biaxial) fibers for crush & burst resistance Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Gordon Glass™ Archery Bow Limbs

The new material offers excellent bonding to polycarbonate, nylon and other polymers. Additionally, the PolyOne GLS material is more cost-effective than self-adhesive vibration damping tapes and avoids secondary operations.  

Loose buffer tube – made of PBT, PTFE, Nylon 12, PP or other polymers. Both parts are made of silica/glass or polymer 4. Outer strength member • Base fiber of Kevlar, E-Glass, Zylon, Vectran LCP • Often be coated with Fiber-Line coatings (Swellcoat, Bondcoat, Wearcoat) 6.
