Some customers want to reduce weight but maintain strength and function, while others need protection against UV light, harsh temperatures, and other elements that might diminish product life. Polystrand™ Tapes and Laminates reduce weight to improve fuel economy, and enable thin-walling and material reduction through reinforcement of traditional materials. 

Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced ETPU composite reduced weight 33% and performance analysis services confirmed metal-to-thermoplastic conversion success Injection molded Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite delivered high stiffness and low weight while simplifying manufacturing

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are prized for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, durability, and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental exposures. Their light weight makes them easier to install in challenging areas, such as mountainous terrain, and during emergency situations such as extreme weather events and natural disasters.

Weighted-average shares used to compute earnings per common share: Weighted average shares used to compute adjusted earnings per share: Special items include charges related to specific strategic initiatives or financial restructuring such as: consolidation of operations; debt extinguishment costs; costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions or divestitures; employee separation costs resulting from personnel reduction programs, plant realignment costs, executive separation agreements; asset impairments; settlement gains or losses and mark-to-market adjustments associated with gains and losses on pension and other post-retirement benefit plans; environmental remediation costs, fines, penalties and related insurance recoveries related to facilities no longer owned or closed in prior years; gains and losses on facility or property sales or disposals; results of litigation, fines or penalties, where such litigation (or action relating to the fines or penalties) arose prior to the commencement of the performance period; one-time, non-recurring items; and the effect of changes in accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results.

The pigments and ingredients contained in Avient’s bio colorants have been tested in independent laboratories who assessed the compliancy of those materials according to standard EN 13432 for content of heavy metals, and toxicity to plants.

However, high molecular weight polystyrenes may not mix well with the smaller molecular weights of the Kraton polymer end blocks in the TPE. Color concentrates using lower molecular weight polystyrene as a color carrier are the best choice.

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites provide superior ballistic protection at considerably less weight than comparable steel or concrete panels. All our panels are designed to retain projectiles and fragments at less weight than incumbent materials, with the additional benefits of corrosion resistance and electrical non-conductivity.
