Aside from sustainability benefits, utilizing bio-based fillers improves lightweighting compared to polymers traditionally filled with talcum, calcium carbonate, or glass fiber. The cellulose grades have good gloss and surface finish, are easy to color and show improved mechanical properties compared to mineral-filled alternatives.  

GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic-resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.
