Founded in 2003 by industry veteran and composite pioneer
PlastiComp has steadily grown through its ability to replace metal and lightweight products with unique and complex long fiber technology (LFT) composite formulations.
comprehensive approach to design, service and innovation in thermoplastics and composites will enable us to forge even further ahead with our LFT technology, and I'm excited that our teams have joined together in collaboration for the future."

Waste Minimization: Composites
Depending on the material, our composite and fiber solutions may run into challenges in finding outlets for waste to divert from landfill.
The plan includes a range of options, including repurposing scrap composite rods as fence posts, recycling of scrap glass, and recycling of composite finished goods.

METAL REPLACEMENT
COMBINES METAL’S
STRENGTH WITH
PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT
CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE
Challe
nge Accepted.
Spurred by the need for high strength and low
weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long
glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution.
Complēt long fiber composite not only met structural
performance (strength), toughness and corrosion resistance
requirements, it reduced part weight by nearly 40%.
