Avient worked with a progressive customer who designed floating solar panels that float on large bodies of water, and require very demanding weather resistance in harsh environments. Fixed in idle waters in Taiwan in this case, Avient’s integrated colorant and anti-UV solution is expected to provide 25 years of weathering resistant performance.

It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA) while maintaining some of the same characteristics as acetal (POM), such as excellent wear, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.    Watch our free on-demand webinar to learn more about market dynamics, as well as the chemical resistance and eco-conscious benefits of this semi-crystalline engineering resin.

High Strength & Abrasion Resistance Excellent abrasion & fatigue resistance Excellent chemical & steam resistance

High Heat Flame Resistance High mechanical properties with good heat resistance Delivered excellent high heat and eco-friendly performance of non-halogenated flame resistance

Good creep resistance High abrasion resistance Excellent chemical resistance

Can increase the heat resistance of thermoformed APET containers to 100°C, making it suitable for high-temperature processes Improves flow and reduces the frictional resistance of end-product surfaces, enhancing both appearance and funtion. Cesa™ Raise enhances the heat resistance of APET thermoformed packaging, allowing it to withstand temperatures up to 100°C.

Superior Performance: With ultra-high heat and chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and dimensional stability, our PEEK compounds are perfect for applications requiring multiple re-sterilization and rigorous disinfection. Features ultra-high heat and chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and high purity Formulations feature high-temperature resistance and tensile strength for high-performance applications

This technology consists of a cross-linked, olefinic-based elastomer with lighter weight, improved heat resistance, and easier processing versus that of certain conventional TPVs, silicones, and thermoset rubbers. The material delivers elevated performance – including long term aging, chemical resistance and low compression set – to numerous markets for a broad range of applications. Products typically made from high-performance materials such as silicone or other thermosets can now reap the benefits of heat and chemical resistance with ambient temperature curing.

Caption: Avient launches Edgetek™ Toughened PPA formulations that offer high-heat performance, low moisture absorption, and excellent impact resistance for demanding applications. The new impact-modified PPA materials are formulated in filled and unfilled grades that deliver exceptional structural integrity and impact resistance at high temperatures. Enhanced chemical resistance makes Edgetek Toughened PPA ideal for a range of rigid applications, such as cooling systems, housings, fuel pumps or structural components. 

Formulated with between 20 and 100 percent post-industrial nylon materials, such as recycled carpet, Nymax™ PIR post-industrial recycled nylon offers comparable performance to prime nylon grades, including high strength, durability, impact resistance, and weather resistance. Consisting of four overmolding grades compatible with rigid polypropylene and one suited to ABS, all grades are formulated for durability, property retention, and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.
