Advanced Composites Advanced Composites Unlock Modular Construction Potential with Flame Retardant (FR) Composite Panels

The new Gravi-Tech grade not only advances material science but also contributes to social good,” said Matt Mitchell, Director of Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. The higher density avoids 2-step processes for metal inserts in high-value packaging. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

Insert Molding For insert molding, this is accomplished by pre-heating the substrate prior to inserting it into the mold. The total overall cycle time is dependent on the time it takes to cool the thickest wall sections, rotate the mold and load any inserts.
