Fiberloc™ Optimal™ and Extreme™ Composites

GEON® Fiberloc™ Composites offer a number of cost and performance advantages over alternative materials such as wood, aluminum or other composites.

Fiberloc™ Optimal™ and Extreme™ Composites, the next wave in composite technology from GEON®, enables stronger, more durable and more imaginative components while also reducing energy and product lifecycle costs.

Highlights

• Results in up to a 50 percent reduction in wear versus traditional glass composites – extending equipment life and increasing productivity
• Works well in both injection molded and extruded applications
• Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for improved efficiency and cost savings
• Easily drilled, cut or machined on standard equipment or joined by standard welding techniques
• Corrosion and fatigue resistance, even under extreme temperatures, for longer product life
• Enables longer lengths and design capabilities for greater design freedom, easier part consolidation and lower assembly costs

Properties

Increased processability and loading enhances the following properties:

• Strength and stiffness
• Specifically flexural modulus
• Reduced deflection under heat
• Decreased coefficient of thermal expansion (CLTE)
• Mechanical strength
• Rigidity and hardness
• Thermal stability
• Chemical, abrasion and impact resistance
