Avient began our transformation into a specialty company, we also embarked on another important transformation – that of becoming a leader in our communities through our continuous and extensive cooperation with United Way. Protective Materials Sustainable Materials Portfolio

The multi-material composition allows the design engineer to select skins and cores that are best suited for the application.   Performance and weight must be thoughtfully balanced, as a primary advantage of thermoplastic composite panels is greater strength-to-weight ratio than traditional panel materials. Material selection

Historically, plywood and other materials have been used as structural panels across a variety of industries. However, as sustainability initiatives grow and designs become increasingly complex, new material alternatives are needed. They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.

And while underhood elements aren’t classified as appearance parts, the OEM wanted to achieve visual harmony when the hood was opened, so the material also had to match the black of other components in the engine compartment. A team of engineers from the supplier and the OEM met with Avient experts to look at possible polypropylene options. Working together, the supplier and Avient’s technical team also considered opportunities to optimize production.
