Avient’s manufacturing processes can leverage strength- to-weight ratios and anisotropy to make highly engineered composites that optimize material usage. The material is recyclable and can be incorporated back into traditional thermoplastic products and processes. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
