The existing grips, made out of a rigid polymer, didn’t hug the archer’s hand which could reduce shot accuracy and hinder performance. THE SOLUTION Working with Avient, a long-time supplier and project collaborator, Hoyt engineers explained their performance goals of enhancing accuracy and comfort while maintaining its grip design. They presented Hoyt with a variety of options and suggested Avient’s Versaflex™ soft-touch thermoplastic elastomer as a material solution.

GETTING STARTED WITH LASER MARKING No universal laser marking solution exists; selection of an appropriate laser marking additive is critical to achieve excellent marking performance. Avient has experience formulating Cesa Laser Marking Additives that can work with a wide variety of polymers and processes, including injection molding, blow molding and extrusion. Avient has a track record of successfully collaborating with customers in the transportation industry and developing solutions for a wide variety of applications, materials and processes.

Unlike topical finishing treatments, which involve the addition of chemicals in a post-treatment water bath, the additive concentrates are incorporated into the polymer during spinning. Additional solutions can be offered on request for other synthetic fibers such as PLA or TPU. Our experts provide recommendations on the most appropriate solution for the end product and relevant standards.

THE SOLUTION This coordinated effort resulted in the innovative Modular Protective System (MPS) portable structure, which incorporates an Edwards-designed collapsible truss framework and Avient’s GlasArmor™ ballistic resistant composite panels. 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. With our hardware fabrication capabilities and Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.” 1 https://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Missions/Military-Engineering/Deployable-Force-Protection-Demo/ To learn more about ballistic resistant solutions from Avient, visit avient.com or click to request a quote.
