GLS™ Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers: Offers manufacturers design freedom, a simplified injection molding process, and streamlined production

PolyOne will also demonstrate forming and installation techniques for thermoplastic composite materials in live presentations at the Composites One / Closed Mold Alliance demo area at scheduled intervals throughout the week.

Depending on customer requirements, these formulations can be customized to provide additional performance characteristics such as scratch, UV, and mold/fungi/bacteria resistance.  

This reduces the number of required prototypes before shifting into the production mold.

OnFlex™ S KG – Enhanced processing for bi-injection molding

A technical representative was also on hand to assist in production startup at the manufacturer’s molding facility.

This low smoke and fume non-halogen (LSFOH) grade was developed to provide comparable performance to market-leading jacket materials, including PVC, while offering additional benefits to cable manufacturers needing to meet CSA Teck 90 certification.

Note to converters: This product is compatible solely with transparent bottles produced in a two- stage injection stretch blow molding process. They are metered into the PET stream just above the feed throat of the injection molding machine or extruder, using a Avient supplied ColorMatrix liquid metering system.

These methods include: PULTRUSION • Fibers are impregnated with liquid thermoset resins, then pulled through a heated die to cure the resin and form the product • This continuous, automated manufacturing process creates constant cross section profiles of any pre-determined length with consistent, uniform quality and exceptional mechanical performance • Applications include rods and profiles of various lengths and complexities, such as utility poles, insulator core rods and structural beams CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING • Combines the principles of filament winding with pultrusion to create constant or tapered cross- sectional tubing in precision sizes • The unique axial and biaxial fiber orientation provides flexural and tensile strength, as well as crush and burst resistance • Applications include lightweight shelter frames and sporting goods components CONTINUOUS RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (CRTM™) • Engineered core materials are sandwiched between structural composite laminate face sheets • Continuous composite sandwich panels feature high specific strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio • Applications include ballistic resistant panels, truck floors and rail car doors CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS • Fully recyclable tape, X-Ply™ (0°/90°), and other multi-ply configurations with widths up to 10' wide • Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths, up to 6" thick and 10' wide • High volume production capacity • Applications include structural and aerodynamic components in transportation, and reinforcement of materials such as wood and metal THERMOSET COMPOSITE LAMINATES & BARSTOCK • Unidirectionally reinforced barstock, laminates and hybrid composites engineered to maximize deflection and fatigue resistance • Customizable shapes and sizes • Applications include archery bow limbs, flat springs, prosthetics, sporting equipment THERMOSET FINISHING OPERATIONS • Customized finishing capabilities for barstock and laminates including machining, water-jet cutting, profiling/shaping, sanding, slitting, laminating, molding and coatings TESTING CAPABILITIES • Mechanical – Flexural, tensile, compression, shear, fatigue, impact resistance • Physical – Specific gravity/density, Barcol hardness, water absorption, void content, resin/fiber content, dye penetrant, viscosity • Thermomechanical – Coefficient of linear thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, deflection temperature, degree of cure, curing properties • Electrical – High-voltage, low current dry arc resistance of solid electrical insulation, dielectric strength, water diffusion ABOUT AVIENT ADVANCED COMPOSITES The Avient advanced composites portfolio consists of Glasforms™, Gordon Composites™ and Polystrand™ branded materials.
