After this exhaustive evaluation,
Avient’s solution was selected for two key reasons:
• The Avient material met the targeted cost and
performance targets
• Avient’s approach, support and responsiveness were
exactly the type of partnership the manufacturer needed.
Avient’s service and support extended beyond the design
phase.
In addition, Avient’s global presence supported
the manufacturer’s needs across the globe, saving time and
money while ensuring quality, consistency and reliability.

Deflection is dependent on support span distance.
Simply Supported Beam Deflection
Hammerhead panel core density at various
panel thicknesses
* To calculate deflection for different panel widths, use the
following formula: Deflection = Chart value* [12 / panel width].
Example: Deflection for 24 inch panel = Chart value *[12 / 24]

The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes chain
extenders specially formulated to help recouple
depolymerized polymer chains and support a more
stable processing of recycled flakes into fibers.
Even a slight
improvement of the intrinsic viscosity (IV)/molecular
weight supports a smoother and more stable
processing of the recycled polyester.
