No matter which process you choose—assembling panels from aluminum, steel or wood; hand lay-up with composites; or producing panels using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process—throughput remains low while costs are high. And because each panel is individually fabricated, laid up or molded, it can be difficult to ensure uniform quality. Our high fiber volume, glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM) thermoset sandwich panels can streamline production and reduce system costs by eliminating assembly steps such as welding, drilling, bolting and riveting.

LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE AESTHETICS Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain without high mold temperatures that lengthen cycle times. Complēt moisture resistant nylons reinforced with long glass fiber produce a smooth, fiber-free finish without special processing to give molded components a high-quality appearance. Surface gloss levels >70 can be obtained in polished molds with these environmentally stabilized formulations. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

WHY LFT FOR BRACKETS & LATCHES Reduced System Costs • High volume production efficiency due to injection molding (shorter cycle times) • Reduced secondary operations (no welding, surface treatments, etc.) Weight Reduction • LFT has lower density vs. metal, but still meets structural performance requirements • Lightweighting helps meet sustainability goals related to lower fuel consumption and extended vehicle range Design Flexibility • Injection molding allows for complex geometries and part consolidation • Advanced modeling and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools for long fiber composites help validate and optimize part design APPLICATION BULLETIN COMPARING PRODUCTION COST DRIVERS Cast Metal Stamped Metal Long Fiber Composite Material typically used Aluminum Steel Various base resins based on environmental conditions Casting X Stamping X Injection Molding X Machining X Not typically needed as LFT is a one-step process Drilling X Welding X Surface Treatments X X po st -p ro ce ss pr oc es s MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS Characteristic Long Fiber Composite Aluminum Steel Specific Gravity (g/cc) 1.03–1.71 2.76 7.8–7.9 Specific Strength (Strength-to-Weight ratio) Excellent Good Poor Stiffness Fair Good Excellent Toughness/Fatigue Excellent Fair Fair Creep Good Excellent Excellent Corrosion Resistance Excellent Good Poor Temperature Range Performance Good Excellent Excellent Cycle Time Excellent Good Poor Design Freedom (i.e., complex geometry, part consolidation) Excellent Fair Fair Raw Material Cost Poor Good Fair Total Production Cost Good Fair Fair pr od uc ti on pe rf or m an ce Avient offers a range of customizable long fiber reinforced structural material solutions and design support for your metal-to-plastic conversion projects
