Stat-Tech™ electrically conductive materials protect your systems from electromagnetic interference better than metal housings or secondary processes Provides structural performance that can go head-to-head with metals at a fraction of the weight

NYSE: AVNT) is at the forefront of this trend, enabling replacement of metal or wood with advanced composite materials that are prized for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, durability, dimensional stability and corrosion resistance. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

These grades offer the same performance as the standard series but with improved adhesion for metallization, coating or 2K injection molding. The design and lightweighting benefits of thermoplastics with the conductive performance of metal

PTFE can be applied as a coating, extruded as a paste, or molded using compression molding or metal powder-processing techniques. Some applications require the use of heavy metal-free colorants.

Complēt™ PKE polyketone formulations are long glass fiber reinforced polyketone solutions for structural applications using metal today. Provides structural performance that can go head-to-head with metals at a fraction of the weight
