PRNewswire/ -- PolyOne has announced it will unveil Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels at the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX) in With a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. We are investing heavily in composite innovation, and these recent marine applications highlight how customers benefit from the next generation of metal, glass and wood replacement," said

Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Continuous fiber-reinforced composites in standard and custom shapes & sizes Gordon Glass™ Archery Bow Limbs

TAKE THE HEAT FLEX, RETURN, REPEAT PROCESSED & RAW FOOD PHARMACEUTICAL FORESTRY RECYCLED MATERIALS MINED/QUARRIED ROCK, ORE, COAL, SAND POWDER AGRICULTURAL Avient composite springs are tested to 1.5+ million cycles with no loss of spring rate. 1.5+ MILLION CYCLES Avient composite springs maintain performance levels even in high temperature applications up to 300°F. 300° FAHRENHEIT • Composites are up to 70% lighter than steel. • Composites resist corrosion; steel rusts easily unless it is painted or coated. 70% LIGHTER TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE Based on the proven performance of Gordon Glass™, the material of choice in composite archery bow limbs since 1953, our thermoset composite springs deliver unmatched strength & deflection for the most demanding applications. Thermoset composite springs from Avient are engineered with proprietary vinyl ester or epoxy resins and unidirectional fiber reinforcement technologies. COMPOSITES VS.

Holds multiple optical fibers 3. Both parts are made of silica/glass or polymer 4. Outer strength member • Base fiber of Kevlar, E-Glass, Zylon, Vectran LCP • Often be coated with Fiber-Line coatings (Swellcoat, Bondcoat, Wearcoat) 6.

The foaming simulation is carried out under confidentiality and is currently available for components made from polypropylene (PP), talcum filled PP, and glass fiber filled PP, with a minimum part thickness of 2mm. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Provides a mold-filling study • Helps maximize part weight reduction • Predicts mechanical properties • Enables the calculation of necessary clamping force • Reduces physical trials • Optimizes tool design and production processes KEY APPLICATIONS • Components made from polypropylene (PP), talcum filled, and glass fiber filled PP with a minimum part thickness of 2mm • Automotive structural parts e.g., door panels, dashboard carriers • Consumer goods e.g., interior fridge parts, transport boxes and composters, vacuum cleaner base panels PRODUCT BULLETIN Sustainability Spotlight 1 Moldflow® is a registered trademark of Autodesk® * Avient Foaming Prediction Service will provide general information based on available inputs.

The charts above compare 30% short glass-fiber filled samples and show a noticeable difference in the moisture uptake behavior of PK versus to PA6 & PA66. Compared to glass-filled PA6 & PA66, moisture does very little to affect the physical property change of glass-filled PK. 40% Glass-Filled Resin
