Why Invest In PolyOne?

Soft-touch TPEs make it happen, letting you improve the grip of SUP paddle t-handles, for example, or cushion kayak seats and thigh braces.
Blisters are a thing of the past when gripping a soft-touch TPE.
Both ABS laminate sheet and fiber-reinforced composites produce a strong, stiff hull that won’t flex in rough water or when fastened down to a roof rack.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-04/Advanced simulation captures part performance for fibre reinforced thermoplastics_Case_Study.pdf
However, it is complex and
requires advanced data to more accurately predict
how a material will realistically perform in an end-use
application.
Digimat for long fibre reinforced
materials
Advanced simulation captures part performance

Solution
Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material
data based on the microstructure, tensile test data,
and micro-mechanical modelling.
Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic
long fibre material data for a molded connector rod.
