GlasArmor™ Ballistic Resistant Panels and ThermoBallistic™ Thermoplastic Panels

Beyond improved surface appearance, protection from friction, and reduced wear, these polymers also offer the design freedom and part consolidation potential of thermoplastics.

Avient’s Hammerhead™ FR thermoplastic composite sandwich panels with integrated flame-retardant technology.

CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ CONTINUOUS FIBER THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Challe nge Accepted. The tripod designers consulted with the advanced composite product experts at Avient, and trialed several formulations of Polystrand™ continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.

CASE STUDY: PLASTICOMP™ COMPLĒT™ LONG FIBER REINFORCED STRUCTURAL THERMOPLASTICS Challe nge Accepted. Their pursuit led them to carbon fiber composites and, subsequently, to Avient, a leading supplier of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and technologies. The resulting Frog Legs casters, crafted with fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, are an astounding 33% (280g) lighter than the conventional aluminum casters.

More TPE For Beginners Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are used to create durable products that we use everyday.

Elastomers can’t handle the highest loads and tend to wear out rapidly.

CASE STUDY: POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES Challe nge Accepted. THE SOLUTION After extensive research, Gordon found the material that met his requirements: Avient’s Polystrand™ unidirectional thermoplastic tape.

Trilliant™ HC Healthcare Thermoplastics Glass-filled Polyketone Formulations This Trilliant™ HC glass-filled (GF) series consists of specialty engineered, polyketone (PK) thermoplastics.
