Avient’s composite springs are manufactured using a continuous pultrusion process.
Resin impregnated,
continuous glass fibers are drawn through a curing die of a specific cross section, yielding consistent quality,
dimensions and mechanical properties to provide more consistent spring rates than alternate materials.
Reinforcement fiber configurations are designed to provide high flexural strength and modulus in the axial
direction plus fastener bearing strength in the transverse direction
