Additional examples of Avient’s comprehensive portfolio of colorants, functional additives, engineered materials, and world-class services featured at the show include: Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premium Healthcare Colorants: These high-temperature formulations are engineered to provide vivid, biocompatible colors for medical devices. Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

Leveraging breakthrough innovation at the molecular level, next-generation fiber technology, and unique unidirectional engineering, Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology has delivered uncompromising performance and protection in ballistic vests, helmets, inserts, and vehicle armor applications since 2013. The Alpha Elite® vest is engineered to defeat high-velocity handgun rounds and fragmentation with minimal backface deformation and superior multi-hit protection. The Alpha Elite® Series was created when Point Blank engineers began searching for a ballistic material that would meet the rigorous demands of U.S. special operations forces deployed in the world’s most dangerous regions.

Constructed of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic facesheets thermally bonded with a variety of internal core materials including thermoplastic foam and honeycomb core, these engineered composite panels are constructed without secondary adhesives for a stronger bond and more efficient manufacturing process. Unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins combine to create CFRTP tapes & laminates Durable, lightweight and impact-resistant engineered composite panels for marine applications

Engineering controls, such as local exhaust ventilation, may be required during processing. 2 Sina Ebnesajjad, “Introduction to Fluoropolymers,” Applied Plastics Engineering Handbook (Elsevier, 2011) pp 49-60.  

Vinyl Engineered Performance: Geon™ Vinyl solutions are formulated to provide high flow for easier processing and can be customized in a wide range of bright and metallic-look colors. This material portfolio also delivers excellent flame, chemical, and UV light resistance, making it a cost-effective replacement for various engineered polymers and metal in applications such as laundry consoles, circuit board housings, medical equipment, and LED lighting.

Several months ago, application development engineers at Jäger needed a special material for the “Case Mat Q5,” an elastomeric insert for the map case pocket of each door on the Audi Q5, a compact SUV. While Jäger had developed interior TPE parts in the past, its development engineers and designers had since created a modified manufacturing technology that was more demanding on the elastomeric material.
