These short fiber formulations combine select engineering resins with reinforcing additives such as carbon powder, carbon fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber and stainless steel fiber, to provide the precise level of electrical conductivity required for your application.    Technical Data Sheets Browse our library of product data sheets containing technical descriptions and details.

Traditional steel coil and elastomeric springs have a few shortcomings. Heavy steel springs can corrode and lose performance after multiple fatigue cycles. Make the switch to Avient’s thermoset composite springs, engineered with our proprietary resin/ fiber reinforcement technologies, to achieve long lasting, consistent performance in a variety of vibratory conveyor applications: • High strength-to-weight ratio—less than half the weight of steel • Long-term corrosion resistance • Exceptional fatigue resistance to withstand billions of cycles • Deep deflection • Excellent interlaminar shear strength • Creep resistance • Minimal work hardening • Static electricity control • Anti-microbial finishes for sanitary environments With extensive experience in composite spring technology, a wide range of rectangular sizes, and rapid, customized product development capabilities, we can help you optimize your industrial equipment for reliable, repeatable, efficient performance.

Digimat for long fibre reinforced materials Advanced simulation captures part performance for fibre reinforced thermoplastics Comparing the results of isotropic material data to anisotropic material data Case study https://hexagon.com/ Figure 2: Digimat material model workflow when coupled with an FEA solver Manufacturing Intelligence hexagonmi.com2 Solution Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material data based on the microstructure, tensile test data, and micro-mechanical modelling. Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic long fibre material data for a molded connector rod. We are putting data to work to boost efficiency, productivity, quality and safety across industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure, public sector, and mobility applications.

MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not applicable. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Environmental, Health and Safety 4.

Safety and Health A top priority at Avient is the safety and health of our employees, and our ultimate goal is to operate injury free. The second independent source of data that we used to augment the peer proxy analysis was the Consultant’s analysis of competitive market data relating to other applicable general industries. Employee safety was measured through the percentage of employees who participated in two safety activities during the year.
