With a rolled storage size of only 7” x 6” (18 x 15 cm), the Revolve packs up at one-third the size of traditional tripod designs and can be carried on a kit belt.
https://www.avient.com/content/first-quarter-2024-results-0
Reflecting the positive first quarter results, the company revised the low end of its full-year adjusted EPS guidance and is now $2.50-$2.65, representing 6% to 12% growth over the prior year.
https://www.avient.com/news/polyone-advanced-composites-debuts-unparalleled-lightweight-structural-technology-portfolio-camx-2016
Specific continuous-fiber thermoplastic technologies include:
• Multi-axial and multilayer tapes, laminates and sheets up to 10’ wide
• Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths, up to 6” thick and 10’ wide
• High volume production capacity
https://www.avient.com/full-year-2024-results
Full year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance range of $2.70-$2.94 reflects expected growth of 6% to 16% excluding the impact of foreign exchange.
https://www.avient.com/news/avient-introduces-gravi-tech-metallization-grades-luxury-packaging
The new Gravi-Tech grades are available in polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), or nylon 6 (PA6) formulations that have densities similar to traditional metals.
