案例分析：POLYSTRAND™ CONTINUOUS FIBER THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Ch all en ge A cc ep te d. The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.

Their pursuit led them to carbon fiber composites and, subsequently, to Avient, a leading supplier of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and technologies. The resulting Frog Legs casters, crafted with fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, are an astounding 33% (280g) lighter than the conventional aluminum casters.

Vibration damping technology: Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomers improve ergonomics and performance by increasing vibration damping to absorb shock. Specialty sheet and rollstock: Valiant™ healthcare packaging solutions for sterile medical device trays and diagnostic kits include options with high barrier technology for pharmaceutical unit dosage and combination device packaging. Royalite™ flame retardant, UL- listed sheet materials provide the chemical resistance, formability and impact strength needed for large medical and electronic housings. 

It is often used in thermoset and thermoplastic composite applications where the fiber is used as reinforcement.
