RingGlobal Polyurethane Network News: Avant is a supplier dedicated to providing professional and sustainable material solutions and services. Recently, Avant announced the introduction of Asia’s first Lines of Complēt™ and OnForce™ long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. Located in Shanghai, the regional headquarters of Avant Asia, the new production line is designed to meet the growing market demand for composite materials that must have excellent impact strength, elastic modulus and material strength.
Xu Tao, General Manager of Special Engineering Materials Division of Avant Asia, said: “In the composite material market, popular materials have transitioned from traditional materials such as aluminum alloy or steel to long-fiber composite materials. The market needs a set covering material formulations, components An integrated approach to design and molding processes.With engineering support and design-for-manufacturability services from Avant Design, our new production line can provide local customers with efficient and flexible products, helping them accelerate time-to-market for their products in stand out from the competition in the market.”
The structural properties of Complēt and OnForce composites endow products with exceptional stiffness, strength and toughness, making them ideal alternatives to metal materials. After using this composite material to replace metal materials, the weight of the product can be greatly reduced, and the time and cost of single-step injection molding can be saved.
In addition, professional industrial designers and project engineers from Avant Design have a wealth of material and molding knowledge. They can provide our customers with professional advice on design and materials, and help customers launch breakthrough products to meet changing market needs.
These Complēt and OnForce formulations can be combined with engineering resins such as polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and PPA to form customized formulations if local or regional customers require to meet the special requirements of power tools, sports equipment, utility vehicles, furniture, and outdoor recreation applications.
