Dyneema® began as an ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMPE fiber). Innovation Highlight: Bio-based Dyneema® Fiber To meet the growing demand for more sustainable solutions, Avient has introduced the first ever bio- based ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. The Waste to Product team collaborated with an external partner, specializing in textile and plastic raw materials, to identify an alternative outlet for the UD waste or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene sheets.

Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

These monomers are then polymerized into chains called polymers, or plastic resin, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, in their most basic forms. The major types of thermoplastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester and a range of specialized engineering resins. We also have what we believe is the broadest composite platform of solutions, which include a full range of thermoset and thermoplastic composites, reinforced with glass, carbon, aramid, and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers.

We offer a full range of material solutions for photovoltaic wire and cable that enable renewable energy infrastructure, including Syncure™ Crosslinked Polyethylene Formulations, which provide high- performance, UL 4703 and VW 1-compliance and eliminate the need to use two separate insulation and jacketing formulations.

These monomers are then polymerized into chains called polymers, or plastic resin, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, in their most basic forms. The major types of thermoplastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester and a range of specialized engineering resins.
