Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) for Brackets and Latches
Unlock opportunities for cost savings, lightweighting, & production efficiencies
Brackets and latches are traditionally made of
cast aluminum or stamped steel.
Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the
structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight
and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites.

TRILLIANT™ XR
Thermoplastics for Radiation Shielding
Trilliant™ XR thermoplastic solutions provide a
radiation-shielding alternative to the use of lead
in healthcare imaging equipment.
Trilliant XR radiation shielding
thermoplastics are excellent alternatives to lead.
Inherently, thermoplastics offer exceptional design
freedom for complex parts.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-09/antimicrobials-for-electronics-application-bulletin.pdf
Specifically,
these additives have been proven to be effective
inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins:
• TPE/TPU • PET
• HDPE • ABS
• POM • PP
• PC
Custom formulations can be validated for various
resin types, and under specific processing
conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure
results in commercialization.
