Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive. Boyson, et al., “Graphene: Sheets of Carbon-based Nanoparticles,” http://www.dummies.com/education/science/nanotechnology/graphene-sheets-of-carbon-based-nanoparticles/ 5E. Compounds at the high end of the resistivity scale shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI).1 Faster data transmission and broader electromagnetic frequencies are driving the need for better EMI/RFI protection for electronic devices.2

Durable sheeting that stands up to the elements

Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels consist of thermoplastics, continuous glass-fiber face sheets, and foam cores.

Complete with food contact approvals for the European Union and FDA, this new Lactra additive is compatible with the PET recycle stream for fibers, sheet, and strapping.  

These custom-engineered products are available with a wide variety of core materials, including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods and laminate face-sheets with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins.

It is suitable for thermoformed sheets as well as transparent food packaging, agricultural, and protective films. 

This includes highlighting the company’s new Hammerhead™ FR Flame Retardant Composite Panels, an industry-first, patent-pending thermoplastic composite sandwich structure featuring integrated flame retardance that can eliminate the need for additional FR sheets or coatings.

Our new Cesa processing aid helps to improve productivity and process stability for film or sheet extrusion, pipe extrusion, or extrusion blow molding,” said Mayendran Pillay, Marketing Director, Color & Additives North America at Avient.
