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:

• Polystrand™ ThermoBallistic™ ballistic-resistant composite panels 
• Polystrand™ structural sandwich panels for building and construction applications and Hammerhead™ Marine Composite Panels
• Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced unidirectional tapes and multi-axial laminates

Thermoset Composites:

• Gordon Composites™ continuous glass and carbon fiber bar stock, laminates, and composite springs, including springs for high-temperature industrial applications
• Gordon Glass™ archery bow limbs
• Glasforms™ pultruded rods, tubes, and custom profiles
• GlasArmor™ ballistic-resistant panels 

Engineered Fiber Solutions:

• Fiber-Line™ engineered high-performance fibers, including coated, twisted, and custom-wound aramid, glass, carbon, HMPE, and LCP fibers
• Fiber-Line™ thermoset pultruded rods and custom extrusion-coated fibers

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.
