ADVANCED COMPOSITES
An exceptional alternative to traditional materials such
as wood, ceramic and metal, advanced composite
solutions enable designers to:
• Design lighter weight structural components for
increased lifetime performance and improved
fuel efficiency—higher strength-to-weight ratios
to exceed the structural performance of traditional
materials while significantly reducing weight—up
to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter
than aluminum
• Extend product lifetime to reduce part
replacement and decrease warranty expenses—
the corrosion, weather, flame and fatigue
resistance of composite solutions improve
component durability
• Reduce product lifecycle costs—the extended
product lifetime, along with the potential for
reduced installation time and cost due to the lighter
weight of composite solutions, significantly reduces
the associated cost over the lifetime of a part
• Lower energy costs—by leveraging a higher
strength-to-weight ratio, composite solutions
allow designers to engineer products that require
less energy or power during installation and use
• Increase competitive advantage—Avient
advanced composite solutions can be customized
to provide electrical insulation, thermal insulation,
radiopacity, low thermal expansion, flexural
memory and load damping, while delivering
desired performance and aesthetic specifications

PROCESSES &
CAPABILITIES
Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset
or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes.
These methods include:
PULTRUSION
• Fibers are impregnated with liquid thermoset
resins, then pulled through a heated die to cure
the resin and form the product
• This continuous, automated manufacturing
process creates constant cross section profiles
of any pre-determined length with consistent,
uniform quality and exceptional mechanical
performance
• Applications include rods and profiles of various
lengths and complexities, such as utility poles,
insulator core rods and structural beams
CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING
• Combines the principles of filament winding with
pultrusion to create constant or tapered cross-
sectional tubing in precision sizes
• The unique axial and biaxial fiber orientation
provides flexural and tensile strength, as well as
crush and burst resistance
• Applications include lightweight shelter frames
and sporting goods components
CONTINUOUS RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (CRTM™)
• Engineered core materials are sandwiched
between structural composite laminate face sheets
• Continuous composite sandwich panels feature
high specific strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio
• Applications include ballistic resistant panels,
truck floors and rail car doors
CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS
• Fully recyclable tape, X-Ply™ (0°/90°), and other
multi-ply configurations with widths up to 10' wide
• Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths,
up to 6" thick and 10' wide
• High volume production capacity
• Applications include structural and aerodynamic
components in transportation, and reinforcement
of materials such as wood and metal
THERMOSET COMPOSITE LAMINATES & BARSTOCK
• Unidirectionally reinforced barstock, laminates
and hybrid composites engineered to maximize
deflection and fatigue resistance
• Customizable shapes and sizes
• Applications include archery bow limbs, flat
springs, prosthetics, sporting equipment
