Transform Product Development Long Fiber Technologies Application Development Surround EMI/RFI Shielding Formulations are developed to protect critical electronics applications by minimizing electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI).

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,¹ the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Survivability Engineering Branch enlisted the expertise of Edwards Design and Fabrication, an Alabama-based equipment fabricator for commercial and government research and development organizations. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic-resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.
