These compounds
offer a combination of chemical inertness, high-
temperature stability that supports sterilization
processes, and excellent low-friction properties
inherent in fluoropolymers.
Importantly, this solution is manufactured
without intentionally added fluoropolymers,
fluoroelastomers, or any other pre- and poly-
fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), supporting
customer’s sustainability goals and regulatory
compliance by offering an alternative to
intentionally added PFAS materials.

THE SOLUTION
The Avient technical support team got involved early
in Carbonerro’s design process of the Proglas shaft.
Additionally, Avient offered Carbonerro support with
the tooling necessary to improve the company’s
manufacturing process.

Supporting a 25-pound motor that powers multiple trimmers
and pneumatic tools, the yoke needed to stand up against
rigorous use, including load and vibration of the motor,
operator torque, and rotational movement functionality.
While we are well aware of the industry and
the application demands, Avient was able to provide
the design support capabilities and materials expertise
to help us optimize performance and streamline the
development process.”
