From deployable composite booms in space to lightweight antenna mast structures on the ground, its unique technology has attracted attention from engineers and product designers worldwide.

Drawing on over 65 years of composite expertise in manufacturing high performance archery bow limbs - which require consistent, deep deflection under high loads each time the bowstring is pulled - the Gordon Composites team has translated this technology into continuous fiber reinforced composite springs that are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of vibratory conveyors.

The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance.

• Our next level commitment for 2030 has been established, whereby we will achieve a reduction of 60% and operational carbon neutrality by 2050.

Total expected cost synergy estimates increased from $60 million to $75 million, and the rate of capture has also accelerated. Customer collaboration and feedback has been extremely positive, and cultural integration has been excellent, as evidenced by the employee engagement scores that clearly reflect Avient is a great place to work. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Testing the application is highly recommended to determine the effect recycling has on the desired physical properties.
