Weighing
significantly less than traditional materials like
wood, drywall, and framed wall assemblies, they
enable easier and faster installation.
KEY BENEFITS
• Lightweight: Significantly lighter than
traditional materials such as wood, drywall,
and framed wall assemblies, offering a
lightweight yet durable solution for easier
transport and installation, while maintaining
structural integrity
• Durability: Resistant to rot, moisture,
chemicals, UV, and corrosion, ensuring long-
lasting performance
• Efficiency: Consolidated structural panel
reduces labor and assembly time, maintaining
structural integrity throughout the installation
process
• Versatility: Can replace gypsum and drywall
in wall construction, offering strong adhesive
bonding properties and paintable surfaces
• Material Consolidation: Integrates flame
retardant properties and eliminates the
need for additional sheets or coatings for
fireproofing, simplifying the building process
• Highly Customizable: Avient offers a wide
range of custom size configurations and panel
options, allowing builders to meet specific
project needs
• Sustainability: FR technology is not
halogenated or phosphorus-based, and is made
with benign ingredients at low concentrations,
making it an environmentally friendly option

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ballistic resistant panels can be field-fabricated using simple installation methods and common carpentry
tools.
ThermoBallistic
panels should be cut using a wood cutting
blade with +/-45 degree teeth.
Secure the panels to steel or wood framing
by mechanically fastening with heavy-duty
wallboard or lag screws.

No matter
which process you choose—assembling panels
from aluminum, steel or wood; hand lay-up
with composites; or producing panels using
the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding
(VARTM) process—throughput remains low
while costs are high.
Our composite panels are custom engineered
by varying core thicknesses to increase or
decrease stiffness; by varying core materials
(including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered
woods) to increase or decrease weight; by
varying fiber to modify the stiffness-to-weight
ratio; and by varying the base polymer to
increase or decrease strength

Wood,
gypsum, and steel have long been the mainstays, perceived as the familiar and
cost-effective choices.
Weighty Challenges
MATERIALS MATTER
COST CONSTRAINTS
Traditional interior wall materials—wood, gypsum, and steel—
are familiar.
These
panels can withstand moisture, chemicals, and other tough conditions
while remaining significantly lighter than wood, gypsum, or steel.
