It showed less force is transmitted to the
hand by a polymer hammer shaft than a steel one.
For instance, bio-polymers
are based entirely or partially on renewable
sources such as sugarcane, and may perform at a
level comparable to conventional polymers.
The image shows the result of a fill analysis that predicts the polymer flow in the mold.

Overview
• FIBER-LINE® extrusion is the process of
forming a polymer jacket of various thickness
around a core of high-performance fibers
• Fiber core can be parallel, twisted, or in
rope form
• Polymer jacket selected to optimize flex,
chemical, temperature, & UV resistance
Key Features
• .50mm – 30.00mm size capability
• Protect the core from mechanical,
environmental, and chemical damage
• Extend life of cable or strength member
• Enhance flame & chemical resistance
• Improve UV resistance
• Many polymers available

Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives
Adding flame retardancy
PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
Because most polymers are hydrocarbon-based, they
are combustible.
Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives
add flame retardancy to polymers at varying levels to
meet the performance demands of the final product.
Intumescent flame retardants form a protective
layer upon combustion, eliminating the polymer
fuel source.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely considered to be one of the highest performing melt-processable
polymers in the industry.
Avient’s specialty Edgetek™ PEEK formulations are capable of withstanding extreme
operating environments, and should be considered for use particularly where other engineered polymers
have failed.
