Performance advantages: • Non-conductive: formulations engineered to optimize composite dielectric properties • Lightweight: up to 80% lighter than porcelain, reducing installation time and cost • High strength: high tensile, compressive, flexural and inter-laminar shear strength to support various design configurations and line loads • Flexible: deflect and return to original shape for load dampening to minimize damages and outages • Durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic and glass, and UV and corrosion resistant for long service life INSULATORS AND ARRESTERS OVERHEAD SWITCH RODS CROSSARMS AND BRACES COMPOSITE POLES GUY INSULATORS Electrical Transmission & Distribution Applications COMPONENT DESCRIPTION SIZES Insulators for transmission and distribution Suspension insulators Epoxy/corrosion resistant glass rods .625" to 1.25" diameter Line post and station post insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 4.74" diameter Arresters Cage type Polyester or vinyl ester/glass fiber rods .125" to .50" diameter Custom tubular Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy/ glass fiber custom shapes 2.0" to 6.0" envelope size Pole line construction Conductor standoff and equipment support arms Polyester/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 2.00" diameter Guy strain insulators Polyester/glass fiber rods 0.50" to .812" diameter Cross arms Tangent and deadend, support braces Polyester/glass fiber rectangular tubes 3.62" x 4.62" and 4.0" x 6.0" rectangular Utility poles Composite poles Polyester/glass fiber hollow custom tubes 10" to 14" diameter, typical lengths 40' to 110' Pole line construction, cross arms, rods, and utility poles feature an integral fabric surfacing veil for long-term weather resistance and retention of properties.

High performance without secondary operations – When using Stat-Tech material, painting and vacuum metallization are not necessary in order to achieve the performance you need from your ADAS systems, therefore cutting down on the processing times and costs associated with using aluminum.

Brand owners, recyclers, and convertors require high-performance and cost-effective solutions that can make recycling easier, allowing them to continue using greater quantities of PCR.

Avient offers UL 94 compliant concentrates and flame retardant solutions which meet the latest UL 94 and Glow Wire fire standards, while also considering technical requirements, coloration options and cost efficiency.

Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to market, and lower total part costs.

Customize and optimize into a practical, cost effective solution to simplify ordering, processing, inventory control, and delivery. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

This environmental differentiation also helps the producer to prevent market share erosion due to low-cost competition from producers in Asia.
