Avient Design, a team of industrial designers and project engineers, used CAE simulation to provide a proof of concept for converting from a standard steel or wood hammer handle to a polymer design. Standard designs for steel and wood hammer shafts were compared to a new polymer shaft designed for injection molding. The polymer hammer handle exhibited the lowest acceleration gain, followed by the wood shaft and then by the steel one.

Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high- performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials and advance a circular economy • Composite solutions to support accelerated growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure investment as the world demands greater and faster connectivity Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
