The initial portfolio comprises nine standard unreinforced and glass or carbon fiber reinforced grades, in which PTFE is replaced with alternatives such as linear and high density or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (LDPE/HDPE/UHMWPE).   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

At JEC 2023, Avient will also highlight its complete portfolio of advanced 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, including: 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  

Avient’s Polystrand composite material was selected for its high strength, flexibility, and lighter weight. 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 

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.

Removing weight is the answer in both cases, and will remain a critical element of automotive design in the coming years. Automakers are vigorously evaluating every part to reduce overall vehicle weight to meet new fuel economy standards.

This highly engineered, filled thermoplastic polymer replaces metal in electromagnetic and radio-frequency (EMI/RFI) shielding applications at up to 60 percent lighter weight. Its core material, ElectriPlast®, is an electrically conductive resin-based material whose properties allow it to be molded into infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics and rubbers, while reducing component weight by 40 to 60%.

These panels provide structural bullet-resistant reinforcement to meet UL 752 Level 3 ballistic rating for interior architectural surfaces and components at a lighter weight than traditional panel materials.
