Bring beauty to the outdoor experience with products that pop: • Add vibrancy or brand recognition with custom polymer colorants • Keep your product’s colors brilliant with UV-stable additives • Reduce cycle times and production costs by eliminating secondary painting requirements with molded-in color and advanced polymer formulations from Avient Your outdoor products need to stand the test of time and resist damage from exposure to environmental elements. Give your outdoor gear that extra grit so that it will stay the course: • Provide high-impact strength and weatherability with materials like continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite tapes and laminates • Keep your exterior finishes gleaming with material performance enhancements like scratch and mar resistance and UV stable additives • Make your products safer with performance additives that provide flame resistance and antimicrobial properties BECAUSE LOOKS MATTER AESTHETIC APPEAL STANDING UP TO FIELD ABUSE DURABILITY For more idea inspiration, contact +1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com When your customers are exhausted from a long day on the trail, the last things they want to worry about are body aches or physical discomfort.

Specific drying temperatures and times can be found on the Technical Data Sheets for each individual product. If using a specialty overmolding grade, follow the coloring recommendations given on the individual product Technical Data Sheet. Monitoring part weights has successfully been used to verify process stability and consistency.

Rigid thermoplastics include both commodity thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), acrynitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyamide (PA), PC/ABS blend and PPO/PS blend etc..

Dimensional stability

Dyneema® HB330 and Dyneema® HB332 offer a balanced approach on mechanical stiffness, temperature stability, and superior V50 performance – allowing body armor manufacturers to develop the lightest weight armor in the industry. 

Resilience LS options include both housing and reflector materials that meet strict UL regulations up to 5VA for flame retardancy, and long term color stability to provide many years of lasting color.
