Caption: Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels from Avient remove weight and streamline production in marine manufacturing. Beyond weight reduction, Hammerhead panels can improve installation and labor productivity with the ability to replace typical wood, hand lay-up, and vacuum-assisted processes with a consolidated, ready-to-install panel. Panels are available in a variety of thicknesses and core densities, customized to specific uses and applications.

Where will the panel be used, and in which market?

Thermoplastic composite sandwich panels are highly customizable structural panels that are stiff, strong, and lightweight. The performance of these fiber reinforced composite panels can be optimized by adapting panel thickness, core density, and skin configuration to achieve desired properties. Performance and weight must be thoughtfully balanced, as a primary advantage of thermoplastic composite panels is greater strength-to-weight ratio than traditional panel materials.
