Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip. The Avient team worked carefully to develop a compound that could utilize existing tooling to avoid additional tooling costs. In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.

It’s portable enough to be airlifted into remote sites and provides quick protection for troops with no additional equipment support needed. These panels successfully encapsulate the bullet, preventing harmful ricochets and providing additional safety to the warfighter. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic- resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.
