Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Materials: Engineered materials that are lighter than metal and are easier to form, but do not compromise conductivity Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Polymers: Composite materials that provide the look, feel and sound of metal, but deliver the design freedom of a polymer

Design flexibility that you can’t find with metal stiffeners, components. Good impact in structural and metal replacement applications

Replacing painted metal parts with Artisan materials also improves corrosion resistance. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.  

Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is a metal or other non-compressible material. Due to the tolerance on metal and other non-compressible inserts, it is necessary to include Belleville disc springs (or high tension springs) in the design to prevent flashing of minimal thickness inserts or crushing of oversized inserts.

What if a polymer could give you the look of metallic paint without the hassle and performance drawbacks?  Smartbatch™ FX concentrates help manufacturers achieve the look of metallic finishes without the issues associated with painting or plating.

Lighter and thinner than metal, our yarns help you conserve valuable space and enjoy greater design flexibility. Plastic, wood, or metal reels are also available.
