Here are 3 ways polymers can add these coveted aspects to your designs: Taking advantage of these high stiffness-to-weight ratio materials makes every stroke more efficient for the paddler. These materials also offer exceptional impact-resistance so your vessels can take the beating of a rocky shoreline.

Raw material cost Volume is defined as the cubic area of a part design. Consider a part having the following design dimensions: 5” long x 3” wide and is about 0.100” thick.

Airtight housings are designed with PolyOne’s Maxxam™ FR and OnFlex™ non-halogenated, flame-retardant solutions. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency. Our solutions lead to energy savings while also reducing material consumption during manufacturing.”
