Maxxam polyolefin replaces aluminum and reduces weight in electric vehicle part Delivered a high-impact nylon formulation with equal performance and 80% less weight Therma-Tech™ provided thermal conductivity and reduced part weight in vehicle light heat sink

Our long carbon fiber products are sold under the Complēt tradename and range from 20-50% fiber reinforcement content (by weight). High strength-to-weight ratio Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are an excellent option to consider for metal replacement at a fraction of the weight.

Applications ranging from trucking and trailers to pipeline reinforcement benefit from the light weight, high strength and impact resistance of continuous glass fiber reinforced rPET. In addition, Avient will also highlight composite materials and engineered-fiber solutions that offer high strength, weight reduction, and corrosion resistance for products across a broad range of industries and markets: 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

With a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. Beyond weight reduction, Hammerhead panels can accelerate installation and labor productivity because they replace the typical wood, hand lay-up and vacuum assisted process with a consolidated, ready-to-install panel. Launched in 2016 with the acquisitions of Gordon Composites and Polystrand, the company's Advanced Composites portfolio offers both thermoplastic and thermoset composite solutions with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. 

Dyneema® is a premium brand of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that is 15 times stronger than steel yet light enough to float on water. This exceptional strength-to-weight ratio is used in Dyneema® fabrics to minimize weight and maximize durability – enabling products that keep elite adventurers light on their feet.

These materials were developed to help manufacturers of 3D molded interconnect devices (MIDs) using laser direct structuring (LDS) to meet critical requirements, such as high design flexibility, multi-function integration, miniaturization, and weight reduction. Increased integration of electronic and mechanical functions using MIDs can meet the challenge that many industries and markets face; namely, finding simple, light weight components without compromising production efficiency and increasing cost,” said Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia, Avient.     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
