Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.    The Avient material met the targeted cost and performance targets A technical representative was also on hand to assist in production startup at the manufacturer’s molding facility.

Beyond weight reduction, Hammerhead panels can improve installation and labor productivity with the ability to replace typical wood, hand lay-up, and vacuum-assisted processes with a consolidated, ready-to-install panel. These strong, lightweight materials offer boat builders an innovative alternative that can streamline production for improved quality and economics.” Avient will highlight Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels and other advanced materials in its exhibit at IBEX, booth 1248 in the Composites Pavilion, September 27-29 in Tampa, Florida.

Beyond weight reduction, Hammerhead panels can accelerate installation and labor productivity because they replace the typical wood, hand lay-up and vacuum assisted process with a consolidated, ready-to-install panel. president, Specialty Engineered Materials, NYSE: POL) is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Bases and additives are used to produce soft hand, high stretch or other performance characteristics The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as: Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

In addition to radiation shielding, Gravi-Tech can be used as a sustainable alternative for adding heft to a product such as spirits caps and closures, where a feeling of weight in a consumer’s hand can denote luxury and quality. Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals See how advanced materials can help your products compete and deliver on performance

These sustainability technologies can improve the customer experience of working with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and support the use of PCR materials in packaging: Sustainability experts from Avient will be on hand to help address recycling challenges in packaging, drawing on research conducted at Avient’s CycleWorks™ Innovation Center that focuses on mechanical recycling challenges and solutions.   Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.

With an abundance of primary colors readily available, a dedicated lab team is also on hand to formulate custom colors for your desired look and feel. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

On the other hand, the designers didn’t want the typical look of a typical plastic interior.  The new material was provided as a masterbatch for just-in-time delivery to a subcontractor in China. By rethinking the material for its interiors, the OEM saved more than $500,000 a year in material, manufacturing and logistics costs.

New material and design options give consumers more freedom than ever before. Engineered plastic compounds that can meet or exceed the properties and appearances of metal are creating even more opportunities for plastic parts to take over as an incumbent material.  Consumers, on the other hand, are demanding better fuel efficiency that’s easier on the wallet and the environment.

Some applications almost demand materials that will ease stress or discomfort on the human body. The material can also be found on high-end multi-purpose knives to provide better tactile grip for safer use. Hand Saw
