Example: Deflection for 24 inch panel = Chart value *[12 / 24] 5.00 6.00 7.00 8.00 9.00 10.00 p r in w * 3.50 4.50 p r in w * p r in w * 0.70 0.90 p r in w * Simply supported beam deflection for Hammerhead™ panels with 8.4 lb/in3 core density * To calculate deflection for different panel widths, use the following formula: Deflection = Chart value* [12 / panel width]. Panel will set when cooled. To learn more about Avient’s advanced composite solutions, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com

From Bow to Stern, New Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels from PolyOne Remove Weight, Streamline Production CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced it will unveil Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels at the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX) in Orl

CLEVELAND – Innovative technologies from PolyOne Corporation have enabled Citroën to launch groundbreaking Airbump® exterior protective panels on the new C4 Cactus passenger car. The air-filled Airbump panels, manufactured from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), can compress up to 20 mm, and bounce back to shape in an instant. Added Palm, “By working with Citroën and its Tier I suppliers, we were able to develop an advanced solution that provides the panels with uniform, attractive, and durable color despite exposure to sunlight, heat, and detergents.
