For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

With heavy investment on a global scale, solar power farms are being developed worldwide, increasing the demand for photovoltaic cable.

It is unlikely that these influences will change, so manufacturers must strive to keep up with the latest developments and continue to challenge the status quo — or risk being left behind.

Cesa™ Fiber Tracer Concentrates are specifically developed for extruded fibers, especially polyester and polyamide.

Range of white colorants developed for use in pharmaceutical packaging

ColorMatrix AAnchor is an acetaldehyde control technology developed to address the challenges associated with increased rPET content in PET packaging.

These polymer formulations have been developed to achieve equivalent performance to prime density modified solutions with added sustainability benefits, such as reducing waste and supporting the circular economy, and reducing product carbon footprint.    

Developing strong anti-counterfeit protection is therefore essential to reduce the risk of low-quality, dangerous goods from circulating in the market.

An accent groove of 0.015" to 0.030" (0.381 mm to 0.762 mm) depth and 0.030" to 0.040" (0.762 mm to 1.02 mm) width helps to develop a good shut-off.
