Based on nylon 6 (PA6) and nylon 66 (PA66) polymers, these materials combine high temperature performance with exceptional strength and durability. These materials deliver great performance and processing characteristics, comparable to prime nylon grades. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Thanks to a unique combination of multi-additives in the masterbatch formulation, Cesa Anti-fog Plus materials allow good fog clearance before and after lamination, provide quick performance in both hot and cold conditions. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Cesa Anti-fog Plus additives are formulated for use in transparent packaging of chilled fresh foods such as: • Fruit • Vegetables • Meat • Fresh fish • Ready-to-cook-food and ready-to-eat meals These anti-fog plus materials can be incorporated into mono and multi-layer films such as: • Lidding barrier film on rigid or semi-rigid containers • Stretch film • Shrink film

THE CHALLENGE Vibratory conveyors are frequently used to process a variety of materials, from heavy duty powder and bulk solids to delicate berries and potato chips. Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure. Made in the USA Avient’s Gordon Composites vibratory springs are manufactured in Montrose, Colorado using materials sourced from US suppliers.

COMPOSITE BRACE SAVES WEIGHT, IMPROVES STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) THE CHALLENGE A major US automotive OEM makes extensive use of lightweight composites materials. They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength- to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance.

This laser enhancement additive works by converting visible, UV or IR laser light energy into thermal energy, creating surface marks that contrast the color of resin material. Avient has a track record of successfully collaborating with customers in developing solutions for a wide variety of applications, materials and processes. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Avient not only provided suitable material, but also extended invaluable assistance to ensure a successful transition. The second-generation caster wheels developed by Frog Legs incorporate two Complēt long carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials. With an aluminum hub, the dissimilar materials never fully bond and can slip.
