Our material science and formulation expertise enables customers to improve their performance and gain competitive advantage globally.”

By working together, Dyneema® and Toyobo MC will enable the Japanese market to capitalize on the combined knowledge gained from both the European and Japanese floating offshore wind power sectors.

Course evaluations, focus groups and program pilot techniques are utilized to gain insight to program effectiveness and monitor opportunities for enhancement.

Add weight while simplifying your processing steps – Simplify your manufacturing process by injection molding a weighted, finished part in one step rather than adding a metal weight. Evenly distribute the weight – Injection-moldable Gravi-Tech material provides consistent weight distribution across the packaging component. It moves on spring steel rails to supports the weight of the mold.

They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength- to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. THE IMPACT Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more miles per charge for electric cars. The Avient composite cradle brace became a lighter- weight performance upgrade for the stock aluminum cradle brace.

Swellcoat™ impregnated fibers efficiently introduce SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) into fiber optic cable binders, fillers, and buffer threads to prevent moisture ingress in dry cable design by creating a stable gel, absorbing up to 100x their weight. Swellcoat™ Blocker yarns provide water-blocked strength reinforcements for dry cable designs and can absorb up to 15x their weight.   Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-lightweight and abrasion resistant
