GlasArmor™ Ballistic Resistant Panels are constructed from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary thermoset resin system. Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Thermoset composite sandwich panels manufactured via continuous resin transfer molding for custom engineered performance.

Here, continuous fibers, such as glass or carbon, are pulled through a thermoset resin bath, such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester, and then formed into a desired shape using a die. The resin is then cured, resulting in a strong, lightweight, and durable composite product. Materials and processes such as fiber type, fiber volume, resin type, and surface veils and treatments can be engineered to meet specific properties and application requirements. 

Colorants and Additives for Recycled Resins E&E Applications The amount of recycled materials used in electrical and electronic products is increasing along with the diversity of polymer types being recycled. Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives enable a fire performance in line with different levels of Glow Wire temperatures (IEC 60685-2-12) for various recycled resins including PP, PC, and PS. COLOR SOLUTIONS • OnColor™ Polymer Colorants customized to customer’s requirements are color matched taking into consideration the recycled resin grade specificities and application requirements

Rejoin™ PCR Colorants – allows 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging by using PCR as a carrier resin. PCR Color Prediction Service – winner of the 2023 Re|focus Sustainable Innovation in Design Award and a finalist for the 2023 Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) Product Technology Innovation of the Year Award, this digital service supports PCR resin coloration by illustrating the color possibilities or limitations of certain PCR material before sample development to help simplify the overall decision-making process for brand owners and technical colorists.  

Broadening Avient’s portfolio of protective materials, these compression molded panels made with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems offer a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins.

Rejoin™ Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Colorants use PCR content as a carrier resin, allowing for 100% PCR packaging with color for bottles and parts. PCR Color Prediction Service illustrates the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and PET resins.

Most importantly, these colorants don’t compromise the organic recyclability of the resins they enhance. Add antistatic and UV protection to products built from biodegradable resins.

   Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.    A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed

Broadening Avient’s portfolio of protective materials, Polystrand™ ThermoBallistic™ ballistic-resistant composite panels are compression molded panels made with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems that offer a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins.

Featured at CAMX is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin.
