Fiber-Line™ Coated Kevlar® Fiber reduces weight in Jet Turbine Containment Rings
by 80% when compared to traditional steel applications.
It helped
them reduce their carbon footprint by reducing evaporation.
For detailed
information on our energy and carbon performance, we invite you to read our most recent report submitted to
CDP.

Examples include:
• Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and
protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and
sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports
• Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled
content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and
wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon
footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy,
natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility

POLYSTRAND™ THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES
Tapes, Laminates & Panels
Polystrand™ high performance composite
tapes and laminates are made by combining
thermoplastic polymers and continuous fibers to
create continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic
(CFRTP) composites.
Avient also offers custom
configurations including fiber concentration,
additives, and colors based on our customers’
requirements.
Standard and custom shapes and sizes are
available with a variety of matrix resins
including polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy, and
reinforcements including, fiberglass mat/roving
(MR-GFRP) or unidirectional (U-GFRP) fiberglass,
or high-performance unidirectional carbon fiber.

Depending on the material, our composite and fiber solutions may run into challenges in finding outlets for waste to divert from landfill.
The plan includes a range of options, including repurposing scrap composite rods as fence posts, recycling of scrap glass, and recycling of composite finished goods.
