THE SOLUTION While researching other possibilities online, the company found Avient and requested additional information on its thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). While evaluating several grades, the accessories company worked with Avient’s global color and additives group to develop a glow-in-the- dark solution.

THE SOLUTION Working with Avient, a long-time supplier and project collaborator, Hoyt engineers explained their performance goals of enhancing accuracy and comfort while maintaining its grip design. The new grip significantly improved the archer’s experience by lessening the stress to the hand while drawing back the bow and holding it at full draw.

These technologies enable lower colorant use rates while achieving the same quality as higher let down ratios and traditional masterbatches. Improve color usage efficiency with increased pigment density • Drop-in solution compatible with your current process • Incorporate higher loadings of PCR while maintaining color design aesthetic TARGET MARKET AND APPLICATIONS Compatible with: • PE, PP or PET multi-layer containers • Extrusion blow molding • Injection molding (caps and closures) PRODUCT BULLETIN NO SURPRISES PLEDGESM At Avient, we are committed to helping you grow your business with safe and environmentally sound solutions.

Move Over Metal Composites for Lightweighting, Reinforcing, and Replacing Metal in Automotive Applications APPLICATION BULLETIN Composites offer higher strength-to-weight ratios exceeding the structural performance of traditional materials while significantly reducing weight—up to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter than aluminum. Our solutions can be functionalized to provide characteristics including electrical insulation, thermal insulation, radiopacity, low thermal expansion, flexural memory, and load damping, while delivering desired performance and aesthetic specifications. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Superior strength-to-weight ratio • Exceptional mechanical performance— consistent and repeatable • Deep deflection • Corrosion resistance • High fatigue resistance & tensile strength • Excellent interlaminar shear strength • Lighter weight than steel • High modulus of elasticity • High temperature performance • Low VOCs VALUE SOLUTION • Ideal in applications where high stiffness and light weight performance are critical • Replacement of metal, wood, and other less efficient materials in order to improve overall product performance while reducing weight, cost, and complexity • Part consolidation • Simplified assembly • A good choice for constant cross-section profiles • Laminates available in continuous lengths • Specialty surface treatments available to improve bonding • Full machining capabilities (surface modification, drilling, shaping, waterjet, etc.) • Custom sizes, profiles, tooling design, and prototyping available for specific applications • Hollow profiles USES & APPLICATIONS • Hybrid body in white components • Structural mounting • Stress contoured leaf (elliptical, semi-elliptical, and cantilever) suspension springs For more information on our composite solutions for the automotive industry, please visit www.avient.com/composites or call 1-844-4AVIENT. http://www.avient.com/composites Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA) while maintaining excellent wear and chemical resistance. While PK and PA are both semi- crystalline and contain an abundance of carbon and oxygen, polyketone lacks the nitrogen present in the amide bond of the nylon backbone. Concentrated Acid - 30% H2SO4, 24 HRS, 23°C Nylon samples were almost completely dissolved after one day, while the Edgetek PKE bars are still visible.

While pleased with the material’s performance, the company still needed to verify that a substantial investment in overmolding – including tooling and testing – would pay off in lower system costs.

Medical device manufacturers that use Trilliant™ XR Lead Replacement Thermoplastics, a more sustainable shielding solution, can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead, while achieving the performance necessary to protect patients and healthcare workers from exposure to harmful radiation.
