THE SOLUTION When the cable manufacturer reached out to Avient for a solution, its polymer science experts teamed up with the manufacturer to review quality standards, manufacturing practices, and the cable performance its customers required. Because every pound of scrap can lead to higher costs and the potential loss of hard-earned customers, the Avient team worked overtime to develop a formulation that could be easily integrated into the manufacturer’s production lines.

GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable. THE IMPACT The MPS incorporates Avient’s custom-formulated GlasArmor ballistic panels that meet Level 3 protection under Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 standards for ballistic resistance.

ARTISAN™ PRE-COLORED THERMOPLASTICS NYLON (PA6) FORMULATIONS PROCESSING GUIDE 2 Artisan Pre-Colored Thermoplastics Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics Artisan™ thermoplastics are vibrant, pre-colored high-gloss, scratch resistant engineered polymers formulated to replace paint for superior results. By removing the painting process, these formulations also offer additional sustainable benefits: energy use is reduced and VOCs are eliminated. Outdoor consumer applications where superior aesthetics, chemical resistance, UV stability, and high performance are critical, such as powersports, lawn and garden, and marine body panels and housings, are suitable candidates for customized Artisan formulations.
