SUP pro paddles are typically equipped with carbon fiber shafts, but this option was too cost-prohibitive for the mid-level market. The collaborative team identified a move away from the traditional mandrel rolling production process used in Asia, and toward an advanced semi-automated continuous filament winding process in the United States. Avient was able to help this company evaluate its manufacturing processes and recommend a superior composite material solution.

Our new UltraTuf SG Chrome sheet is the latest example of our continued development of material solutions for the sign industry,” said Kendall Justiniano, marketing director, PolyOne Designed Structures and Solutions. Combined toughness and aesthetics make this an attractive solution for a variety of market segments that continually seek to showcase and differentiate their brands, such as automobile dealerships and national retail chains.
