What continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are, and how they differ from other composite materials

How can we make that claim? Take time to see the long-term value, not just the sticker price. Here’s how they measure up.

To develop a high-end version with additional features, the design team was seeking a new material. Based on this relationship, the designers decided to meet with Avient to determine how a joint team could change the game when it came to mitigating recoil. After reviewing the requirements, the Avient-HIVIZ team worked to find the right balance of soft-touch feel, recoil reduction and durability that serious enthusiasts value.

To stay ahead of the regulatory curve, the manufacturer's material technology team needed to find a replacement for lead. Working with Reiter-HG Geiger, a sophisticated injection molding processor specializing in demanding applications, the OEM team began their search for a sustainable material to replace lead, one that would effectively shield X-rays up to 140 keV while offering additional manufacturing benefits.  Teams from all three companies worked together to develop new designs based on Trilliant™ Healthcare Radiation Shielding Compound, a high-density, metallic-filled material.

A team of engineers from the supplier and the OEM met with Avient experts to look at possible polypropylene options. This meant that when a prospective customer opened the hood of a vehicle, they would see a single shade of black. Working together, the supplier and Avient’s technical team also considered opportunities to optimize production.
