THE SOLUTION
Leveraging decades of experience creating customized
composite materials for archery bow limbs and other
high-performance applications, the engineers at Avient
worked closely with WillowWood’s special products
team to identify a solution.
Beyond material selection, the collaborative team also
identified a proprietary design and finishing process
that could be achieved with the tooling already in place
at WillowWood’s Ohio-based manufacturing facility.
THE IMPACT
Finding a material that could enable just the right
amount of flexibility as well as necessary stability
was critical to meet the needs of WillowWood’s target
market.

This unique material is at
the heart of every product it makes.
THE SOLUTION
The team at Rolatube had a few non-negotiable
performance requirements when considering composite
material options for the tripod legs.
When deployed, the composite material
quickly unrolls to form rigid tubes that are strong,
stable, rugged, and weatherproof—providing the
ultimate user experience even in extreme conditions.

These high-performing materials deliver high-
temperature performance, mechanical integrity,
and excellent impact resistance for demanding
engine applications.
These robust materials also
incorporate heat stabilization to maintain tensile
strength and tensile elongation properties for long-
term thermal aging up to 120°C.

Density is measured in grams per cubic centimeters
(g/cc) with every 0.01 g/cc reduction resulting in less
material used.
A decrease in density of just 0.01–0.02 g/cc
can yield 4% annual savings in material consumption,
while generating a 4% increase in extruder productivity.
For example, in several instances processors ran Excelite
E-versions, which allowed longer production run times
and less material plate-out on extruder die lips.

A challenge faced when coloring PCR resins include
recyclate materials with an undertone or opacity
that can restrict color options in PET, rPET and rPP.
Lightest colored recycled materials are therefore
in high demand for all applications, limiting
market availability.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

OEMs and tier-one suppliers
strive to reduce vehicle weight and incorporate
more recycled materials into parts.
Plus, they can support OEMs in
complying with the ELV Directive targets for
incorporating recycled materials.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
