Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic 6-ply laminate sheet was integrated into the direct long fiber thermoplastic (DLFT) manufacturing process and applied via compression molding. 

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

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.

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.

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
