Thermoplastic Elastomers Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) Advanced Mobility Composite Structures

Our offerings include specialty engineered materials, performance fibers, advanced composites, and color and additive systems. Depending on the material, our composite and fiber solutions may run into challenges in finding outlets for waste to divert from landfill. The plan includes a range of options, including repurposing scrap composite rods as fence posts, recycling of scrap glass, and recycling of composite finished goods.

Gravi-Tech™ Density-Modified Formulations High-Performance Alternative to Lead and Other Traditional Metals PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites offer a high-performance thermoplastic-based alternative to lead and other traditional dense metals. Using a variety of metallic fibers and particles, these compounds have densities similar to traditional metals, while offering design and processing flexibility because of the polymer matrix, which can be extruded, molded, calendered, or thermoformed into the final desired shape. Several grades of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation- shielding applications provide protections similar to traditional lead-based materials, yet these Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37 percent lighter.

PRODUCT SELECTION & INSTALLATION GUIDE COMPOSITE SPRINGS VIBRATORY CONVEYORS AND SEATING FEATURE BENEFIT • Exceptional fatigue resistance • Corrosion resistance • Creep resistance Fewer failures for longer spring life, less frequent replacement, and a more reliable end product • High strength-to-weight ratio—less than half the weight of steel • High spring rate and deep deflection • Custom designs to support off-axis loads Stronger springs can mean fewer are needed in an application for overall cost savings • Common sizes in inventory • Custom design and finishing capabilities Fast, dependable service, ready-to-install product and customization options to boost your manufacturing efficiency PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Thermoset composite springs from Avient are engineered with proprietary vinyl ester or epoxy resins and unidirectional fiber reinforcement technologies. Spring deflection limitations: The free movement or deflection of springs must be limited so that it does not overstress the composite.
