The material facilitates two-shot
molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that
eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly.
The
Avient team worked carefully to develop a compound
that could utilize existing tooling to avoid additional
tooling costs.

Tight batch-to-batch tolerance
• Wide Dk range from 2.6 up to 23
• Lower weight and better impact resistance
than ceramics
• Isotropic material suits well for
narrow beam widths (less than 0.2°)
• Injection molding for complex shapes
• Low cost mass manufacturing
Whether we are talking about portable satellite terminals or
stationary land stations, the material requirements are alike:
reliable, low loss materials with low manufacturing costs, light
weight and the ability to form complex shapes.

These properties
offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost-
competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative
to nylons.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Comparable dimensional stability to nylon
• Reinforced with 10–40% short glass fiber
• High impact and wear resistance
• Cost competitive
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6
• Non-halogen, flame retardant performance
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These glass-reinforced materials meet the
challenges found in chemical, fuel contact, and
high moisture environments
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-03/lubrione-pke-product-bulletin.pdf
These characteristics offer
manufacturers a high-performing, cost-effective and
more eco-conscious alternative to nylon (PA66 and
PA6) and acetal (POM).
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Inherently low COF
• Excellent wear resistance
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Cost-effective
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66,
PA6 and POM
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These materials are ideal for use in applications
requiring lubricated solutions, as the formulations
have improved wear, chemical, and hydrolysis
resistance over nylons (PA6 or PA66).

This often causes additional damage to
the motor’s lower unit, costing up to several thousand
dollars to repair.
Changing a damaged or broken blade is more cost-
effective than replacing an entire propeller—or even
worse, a lower unit—due to underwater impact.
