Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic panels and reinforcement Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM)

PolyOne continues to innovate and develop technologies that benefit our global customers and enable healthcare professionals to improve performance,” said Craig Nikrant, president, Global Specialty Engineered Materials, PolyOne Corporation. Our healthcare solutions portfolio continues to grow, as does our mix in this important industry, where last year company revenues from healthcare reached $413 million, as compared to $103 million in 2006.”

With a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials.  Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels consist of thermoplastics, continuous glass-fiber face sheets, and foam cores.

It is with that mindset, we continue to aggressively drive growth by serving our customers, investing in innovation and continuing to execute our proven specialty strategy.”

As global demand for internet connectivity and data transmission capacity continues to rise, fiber optic cable is replacing traditional copper communication cables at a fast pace. Holger Kronimus, general manager for Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne said, “As the market for optical fiber cable continues to grow, we are committed to providing innovative material solutions that help customers meet their challenges.

For over 35 years, Avient’s Fiber-Line business has provided science-driven expertise that improves the performance and functionality of high performance fibers. We believe that our ongoing commitment to be a leading sustainable organization and to remain at the forefront of fiber and coating technology will continue to drive the success of our customers, shareholders, and employees.

EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition 65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other reproductive harm). The continuous assistance from their experts has been instrumental in ensuring our ongoing progress and achievement

Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM)

Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics.
