ADVANCED COMPOSITES
An exceptional alternative to traditional materials such
as wood, ceramic and metal, advanced composite
solutions enable designers to:
• Design lighter weight structural components for
increased lifetime performance and improved
fuel efficiency—higher strength-to-weight ratios
to exceed the structural performance of traditional
materials while significantly reducing weight—up
to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter
than aluminum
• Extend product lifetime to reduce part
replacement and decrease warranty expenses—
the corrosion, weather, flame and fatigue
resistance of composite solutions improve
component durability
• Reduce product lifecycle costs—the extended
product lifetime, along with the potential for
reduced installation time and cost due to the lighter
weight of composite solutions, significantly reduces
the associated cost over the lifetime of a part
• Lower energy costs—by leveraging a higher
strength-to-weight ratio, composite solutions
allow designers to engineer products that require
less energy or power during installation and use
• Increase competitive advantage—Avient
advanced composite solutions can be customized
to provide electrical insulation, thermal insulation,
radiopacity, low thermal expansion, flexural
memory and load damping, while delivering
desired performance and aesthetic specifications

CAPABILITIES
Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset
or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes.
Avient’s designers and engineers
formulate and manufacture customized
solutions to meet the technical and structural
demands of design across a broad range of
market applications.

Product engineers and designers face the ongoing
challenge of optimising both design and material
selection to deliver parts for high-performing
applications.
Virtual, computer-aided modelling
is a critical tool to help predict part performance,
streamline design, expedite prototyping and improve
manufacturing efficiencies.
If the simulation
fails, parameters can be modified – enter a new material,
modify the design, augment manufacturing, etc. – to yield
the desired results.

With cable design at the forefront of any material
recommendation, Avient provides a range of
additional technical services including extrusion
simulation, in order to more fully understand
a cable’s design before providing fine-tuned
recommendations to help customers comply
with the criteria for the applicable CPR Euroclass
designation.

Since maintaining a good melt flow
can sometimes be challenging with effect pigments,
our team of material experts from Avient Design
can provide support to reduce new product design
errors by linking design with manufacturability and to
speed up the design process.
Color Development & Trends
In addition to an extensive color library to choose
from, we also provide collaborative design services
at our ColorWorks™ design and technology centers.
In order to meet new design constraints and improve recyclability, laser welding masterbatches can also be
provided for various polymers and colors, including black and dark colors.

CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Eco-conscious design and incorporating
consideration for the environmental impacts of a
product during its whole lifecycle have become an
industry benchmark for cosmetics and personal
care applications.
By eliminating
synthetic pigments and titanium dioxide from
its formulations, OnColor Naturals helps meet
demand for eco-conscious design and package
differentiation.
As with conventional colorants, special effects such
as wood or fiber effects can be added to increase
design possibilities.

PRODUCT BULLETIN
Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.
Both paperboard and multilayer polymers restrict
design freedom, so the final packaging is often less
than ergonomic.
To increase the user-friendly aspects of UHT dairy
packaging, ColorMatrix Lactra LX Light Blocking
Additive expands design freedom by allowing
designers to use a single PET layer bottle to create
the same visible light blocking as paperboard and
multilayer HDPE and PET packaging.
