Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life
and quality of food, beverages, medicine and
other perishable goods through high-
performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize
wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials
and advance a circular economy
• Composite solutions to support accelerated
growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure
investment as the world demands greater and
faster connectivity
Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is
certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding
member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
These investments also
consider our global footprint, and we are positioned very well and
strategically from a regional perspective.

Overview
FIBER-LINE® develops, produces, and markets a full line of high
performance strength members.
High Strength Synthetic Fibers Outperform Steel
Our Products add
• Strength
On an equivalent weight basis, fibers like Aramid, LCP, and PBO are
5-10 times stronger than steel.
• Chemical Resistance
High performance fibers resist soiling and the absorption of water,
solvents, and other chemicals.
• Abrasion Resistance
HMPE as a jacketing material, is a great example of the excellent
abrasion resistance of high performance fibers.
• Fatigue Resistance
Aramid Fibers have exceptional bending and tensile fatigue
resistance.
• Safer Handling
Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they
are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and
completely eliminates fish hooks.
• Dampening
Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load
dampening properties.
