TOUGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE POWER GRID MODULAR BALLISTIC PROTECTION MADE POSSIBLE WITH COMPOSITES THE CHALLENGE Recent attacks on U.S. electrical substations across the country provide stark reminders that our nation’s power supply remains a primary target for criminals focused on harming our country and security.1 The call to action is evident: we must continually improve the physical and technological infrastructure protection of our nation’s energy supply. To meet the FERC requirements, each utility company is required to perform a risk assessment of their systems, identify the most critical assets within the power grid, and then propose and implement a plan to protect them. Specifically, GlasArmor™ ballistic panels from Avient, constructed of multiple layers of woven fiberglass encapsulated with a proprietary resin system, weigh significantly less than concrete and steel.

Caption: Avient adds Maxxam™ REC recycled polyolefins and Maxxam™ BIO bio-based polyolefin grades to its broad portfolio of sustainable specialty engineered materials.  Maxxam™ REC recycled polyolefins are formulated with 25-100% recycled resin from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. Maxxam™ BIO bio-based polyolefins are formulated with 15-100% bio-based resin and/or natural filler from renewable plant sources.
