SAN DIEGO - September 3, 2024 - Today, Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, announced it will highlight its complete portfolio of advanced composite materials and engineered fiber solutions, including its comprehensive portfolio of thermoplastic composites and unidirectional tapes, at the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX) next week.
Avient's composite tapes combine thermoplastic resins with unidirectional and engineered fibers to create continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide superior strength-to-weight ratio and high performance for reinforcement across a broad range of applications. The breadth of the materials includes Polystrand™ unidirectional tapes made with continuous glass fiber and an expanding variety of resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyketone (PK), polyamide (PA), and others, and Fiber-Line™ engineered fiber tapes, made using uniquely processed fibers including carbon, glass, and aramid. Avient's tapes can be customized to meet specific properties and application requirements such as tensile and flexural strength, impact performance, creep resistance, and chemical and UV resistance.
In addition, the CAMX exhibit will feature the following composite technologies:
Thermoplastic Composites:
Thermoset Composites:
Engineered Fiber Solutions:
Avient is committed to helping customers meet sustainability goals in various ways through its composites portfolio. Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products. Thermoplastic recycled-content composites can further support a circular economy and help customers lessen their environmental impact. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.
Avient is exhibiting at CAMX September 9-12, 2024, in Booth Q33 at the San Diego Convention Center.
