Baird - November 10, 2015
https://www.avient.com/news/carbon-fiber-underbody-braces-make-corvette-driving-experience-even-more-exhilarating
In 2016, Avient - which, at the time, was operating as PolyOne - announced development of a lightweight, carbon fiber-reinforced underbody brace, which is offered as a performance upgrade for the C7 generation of General Motors’ popular Chevrolet Corvette sports car.
Avient produced the continuous composite-profile braces using pultrusion technology.
General Motors uses the Corvette as a validation vehicle for many of its new technologies, including new, lightweight composites.

To stay ahead of the regulatory curve, the manufacturer's material technology team needed to find a replacement for lead.
Teams from all three companies worked together to develop new designs based on Trilliant™ Healthcare Radiation Shielding Compound, a high-density, metallic-filled material.
The material, a highly filled polymer based on Avient’s Gravi-Tech™ technology, is specifically formulated to address health care industry needs and regulations.
