High Performance Synthetic Fibers Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene High Performance Synthetic Fibers

Designers selected a custom grade of Bergamid™ high performance polymer from PolyOne for the sheath. We wanted the sheath to reflect the high quality of the knives’ workmanship. PolyOne is committed to delivering the ultimate polymer materials for manufacturers of outdoor products and solutions, collaborating with these customers to improve the function of high performance, high stakes equipment.

In addition to these high-performance characteristics, this healthcare portfolio offers a reduced carbon footprint over the product life cycle because PK production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Comparable dimensional stability to nylon • Reinforced with 10–33% glass fill • High impact and wear resistance • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6 MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Whether using a standard or customized formulation, the PK-based Trilliant grades provide a high-performing, cost-competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative to competitive materials found in biopharmaceutical processing, hospital settings, and home healthcare applications.

MagIQ™ Nonwoven Electret Additives for High-efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters The nonwoven electret additives are necessary for the manufacture of polypropylene meltblown nonwoven, used to make fresh air system filters with long-lasting filtration properties. It is an acronym for “high efficiency particulate air [filter]” as officially defined by the U.S. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate. The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly. It offers excellent surface engineering properties such as low wear, reduced friction, high lubricity, and no squeak.

Honeycomb panels are made from polypropylene, making it easier to avoid compromising the core during thermal lamination.
