PIRANHA
M A R I N E P R O P E L L E R
• Similar mechanical properties to aluminum and stainless
steel
• Improved impact resistance, durability, and vibration
damping properties
• Injection moldable
• Enabled up to 20% more impact resistance compared to standard
long fiber reinforced materials, including the incumbent material
• Improved durability and vibration damping allowing the blades to
flex and absorb energy from minor impacts
• Facilitated an interchangeable blade system providing a cost-
effective solution for repairs and tuning of propulsion thrust to meet
a boat’s intended use, for either speed or transporting loads
• Enhanced design flexibility allowing for the innovative blade design
to provide 400% more reverse thrust than standard propellers and
twice as much as competing metal propellers

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites combine thermoset
or thermoplastic resins with fiber reinforcement, the resulting
product having substantially different properties than the
individual components.
THERMOPLASTIC
The matrix material of a composite can be a thermoset or a thermoplastic
THERMOSET THERMOPLASTIC
A thermoset is a cross-linked polymer that cannot
be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled.

Joule RHB products can also be especially useful in
enabling thick walled or complex bottle structures
to be successfully blown; improving the material
distribution through a more even heat uptake
throughout the polymer matrix has been proven
to be beneficial in solving or easing many common
blowing processing issues.
The additive is not soluble in MEG, but is very
thermally heat stable and at the low ppm addition
levels commonly used has no measurable impact
on the polymer process other than that coming
from the blue tint introduced into the polymer.

The problem is
that most polymer housings are not able to resist the
chemicals involved in this treatment without cracking.
After fully understanding all of the requirements,
Avient’s technology team began to formulate an easy-
to-mold, durable and aesthetically pleasing specialty
polymer that provided processing flexibility and
wouldn’t require retooling.
During stress
testing, materials were exposed for seven days at either
1.0% strain or 1.5% strain.

This new color and special effects option helps
polymer packaging do just that.
The process is easy to implement with traditional
packaging polymers using standard stretch blow
molding machinery.
