KEY CHARACTERISTICS Avient CRTM panels offer significant benefits to customers, including: • Superior strength to weight ratio • �Unlimited length capability; widths up to 108" • �Thermal insulation • Ultra-low thermal conductivity • �Customized density, thickness, weight and color • �Vibration damping and acoustic insulation • Chemical and corrosion resistance • Consistent cross-sections and quality PRODUCT BULLETIN Other thicknesses/architectures are available.

They can be filled and reinforced to satisfy required performance characteristics and can be blended with glass, minerals, impact modifiers, colorants and stabilizer systems.

Gravi-Tech BIO bio-based formulations enable visual surface effects and aesthetics including metallic finish, cool touch, and color variation.

As a major supplier of additives and colors to the plastics industry, ColorMatrix has, in the course of supporting its customers worldwide, developed best practice guidelines for its products which it provides as a free service.

WithStand antimicrobial additives can be combined with colorants or other functional additives in a single masterbatch or liquid solution to get the exact performance needed.
