Hammerhead™ Marine Panels: with a weight savings of more than 50% versus plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. Its EMI/RFI portfolio – including new long-fiber conductive materials – helps shield ADAS cameras, sensors and electronic control units to eliminate cross talk. Lightweighting is also part of this trend, and its Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite continuous fiber tapes and laminates are providing the structural strength to replace metals while amplifying design freedom.

In addition, demand for composites including Dyneema applications for personal protection were also higher,” said Robert M. We bolstered our composites business with the acquisition of APM and divested our Distribution segment. We do expect conditions to improve in the second half of the year driven by performance in our key growth drivers, particularly sustainable solutions and composites.

SUP pro paddles are typically equipped with carbon fiber shafts, but this option was too cost-prohibitive for the mid-level market. Using this process together with an advanced composite polymer formulation from Avient would offer a better stiffness-to-weight ratio than that of aluminum and mandrel-made fiberglass. Avient was able to help this company evaluate its manufacturing processes and recommend a superior composite material solution.

Options for non-per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Non-PFAS) and non-halogenated additives in packaging, healthcare, consumer goods, and various industrial materials such as Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aids for polyolefins film and pipette tips and non-halogenated Cesa™ Flame Retardants Additives for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber applications Cesa™ Fiber Additives for Cool & Warm Feeling – Offer Comfort & Efficiency for Sports Clothes (April 16, 14:50–15:10, Hall 20, Booth L61). Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.
