Automotive chassis components, body panels Medical splints, braces, orthopedic fixators Avient’s Glasforms™ and Gordon Composites™ carbon fiber composite materials consist of thermoset continuous fiber polymer rods, bars, laminates and custom shapes used in a variety of applications that require superior technical characteristics. Carbon fibers combined with vinyl ester or epoxy resin create a composite material that, like all composites, has higher performance properties than the individual materials alone. MOVE OVER METAL Compared to steel, carbon fiber composites are: Tensile Strength 400–500 ksi Density 1.55 g/cm3 Concrete reinforcement, infrastructure repair BUST THE RUST Carbon fiber composites are inherently corrosion resistant, making them ideal for harsh outdoor applications MEET YOUR NEEDS Avient customizes composite materials to meet your specifications, from specialty surface treatments to finishing operations TAKE THE HEAT Carbon fiber composites have excellent dimensional stability to withstand extreme temperatures and conditions stronger 10X 5X lighter Archery bow limbs, risers, cable guards, arrows https://www.avient.com/products/advanced-composites/pultrusion-and-continuous-filament-winding-technology/glasforms-pultruded-rods-tubes-custom-profiles https://www.avient.com/products/advanced-composites/continuous-fiber-composite-tape-laminates-and-barstock/gordon-composites-thermoset-laminates-barstock https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-11/carbon-fiber-reinforced-product-bulletin.pdf

So we’ve developed the ideal TPEs for your infant care application, from materials that are durable and safe for baby contact to regulatory compliant grades and soft-touch solutions Today’s infant care product manufacturers are searching for materials they can count on for durability, but they also need expanded design possibilities. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Specialty Toners for PC Polycarbonate is used for the production of automotive interiors and appliances to consumer goods and electronics, replacing more traditional materials such as glass and acrylic. It is increasingly becoming the most popular material of choice due to its versatile characteristics and recyclability. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Ready for testing, the new material was subjected to rigorous environmental testing, including months of sun exposure and long-term placement in humidity-rich environments. Beyond grip, the non-abrasive material doesn’t peel up thanks to a durable bond with the adhesive backing, giving customers a reliable solution that eliminates the problem of a slippery surface. Adding to that success, the material’s ability to retain traction when wet opened doors for SurfCo to expand into new markets and applications.

These materials outperform nylon 6 and flexible PVC with better flexibility, lower moisture absorption, better insulation properties, and they are RoHS compliant. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Unlike flexible PVC, which loses flexibility over time, Avient materials do not fail over the MCCB’s service life (approximately 10 years).

Our technical and application development teams will work with you to provide material selection support and product customization to achieve your performance needs. Available in rolls of unidirectional tape as well as X-Ply™ 0°/90° and other multi-ply laminates, Polystrand materials can be post- formed and co-molded with mixed materials in thermoforming and injection molding processes to provide lightweight strength to a variety of part designs. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Chemical compatibility of the packaging materials is equally important. Our materials allow you to add surface texture by bead blasting or chemically texturing the mold. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

When adding color to TPU materials for use in wire and cable applications, it is important to maintain the original TPU performance characteristics. Additives can also be used to further enhance the performance characteristics of TPU materials and help customers reach end use specifications. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Flame-retardant technology uniquely embedded into the panel materials provides robust and durable fire performance without the need for additional sheets or coatings. Weighing significantly less than traditional materials like wood, drywall, and framed wall assemblies, they enable easier and faster installation. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
