Featured at CAMX is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced unidirectional tapes and multi-axial laminates Gordon Composites™ continuous glass and carbon fiber barstock, laminates, and composite springs, including springs for high-temperature industrial applications

Pultruded composites are a type of high-performance, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material that are manufactured using a continuous process called pultrusion. Here, continuous fibers, such as glass or carbon, are pulled through a thermoset resin bath, such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester, and then formed into a desired shape using a die. This is because of the continuous manufacturing process in which the fiber-reinforced material is pulled through the forming die.

Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials offer high strength, weight reduction, and corrosion resistance for products across a broad range of industries and markets. Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced unidirectional tapes and multi-axial laminates, including recycled content formulations Additionally, as part of the TCC conference program, Jonathan Spiegel, Senior Engineer of Advanced Composites at Avient, will co-present with Benjamin Willis, Director of Product Development at Re:Build Manufacturing, on the Manufacture of Sandwich Structure of Recycled HDPE and Continuous Glass Reinforced HDPE Composite using Extrusion-Compression Molding. 

In researching composites, you may see them described as continuous fiber reinforced composites. A continuous fiber reinforced composite is a type of FRP where unidirectional fibers run continuously through the end product in the same direction. Overall, fibers can be continuous, long, or short in length.

From labware for diagnostic testing to CT scanners for pinpointing the location of tumors, we continue to help our customers increase the quality of human life. As the focus on sustainability continues to grow in the healthcare industry, Avient has continued to evolve our portfolio to meet our customers’ needs.

As the world continues to shift from operating in a linear economy to a circular economy, Avient is proud to be a part of the solution. With resources like Cycleworks™ Innovation Center for Plastic Recycling and Color Prediction Service, Avient continues to strengthen our expertise to enable our customers to meet their sustainability commitments. While we continue to make progress on this goal, we recognize that only 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end-users.* Through our alliances and partnerships, we remain committed to ending plastic waste in the environment though global investments and projects.
