Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes PRODUCT BULLETIN Fiber-Line™ Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes are composite formulations composed of a wide range of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance fiber and composite tape performance— such as twisting and coating—and subsequently custom manufactured into a tape cured with a thermoplastic resin. Avient makes no warranties or guarantees respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

History Carbon fibers have been available since Thomas Edison used them in the light bulb in the late 1800’s. Traditionally, Carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more. For over 25 years, FIBER-LINE® has provided science- driven expertise that improves the performance and the end-use processing of high performance fibers.

LUXURY CLOSURE MANUFACTURER S P I R I T B O T T L E C A P D I S K • Specific gravity of 2.6 to match incumbent metal weight • Polypropylene-based material suitable for physical vapor deposition (PVD) surface treatment • Provided an easy-to-process material with an excellent surface finish for metallization • Met custom weight target and used a magnetic filler to support the magnetic system in the PVD metallization process • Enabled more design freedom by eliminating metal working Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulation KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC). The metal used for FFF dies depends on the polymer: unfilled materials can use softer brass dies, while fiber-reinforced materials need harder steel to prevent premature wear. Also, PEEK powders— typically reinforced with carbon—can be used in SLS.
