Originally developed for protection from mortar fire, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite panels offer ballistic resistance at less than 25 percent of the weight of a comparable steel panel.

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics.

Developed for spin-dyeing, a fiber dyeing process that requires no water and less energy than other conventional dyeing methods​

For over 35 years, Avient’s Fiber-Line business has provided science-driven expertise that improves the performance and functionality of high performance fibers.

Colorant Chromatics PSU, PES and PPSU colorants are designed specifically for use in these resins to help boost color consistency and streamline product development for increased speed to market. Custom colors and pigment loadings can be developed for specific applications and can be combined with our anti-yellowing additives. * RAL reference is the closest possible match* Recommended let-down-ratio addition rates.

Always on the lookout for environmentally friendly technologies, Schneider-Electric has developed a reputation for having the “greenest” applications on the market, helping to differentiate itself from competitors by its proactive approach. Finally, the OnFlex-S HF grade was developed to bond sufficiently and be chemically compatible with polypropylene.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Zodiac™ Aquarius™ waterbased inks have been developed to meet the sustainability demands of the consumer without compromising the performance and durability demands expected by the printer. HIGH SOLIDS INK Zodiac Aquarius™ high solids ink were developed to meet the performance and durability requirements of sport brands.
