industry-leading GlasArmor™ continuous glass-fiber composite panels to create its new custom Ballisti-Wall® and Ballisti-Cover® ballistic-resistant solutions.

Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) have recently developed a Modular Protective System (MPS) that features PolyOne’s GlasArmor™ continuous glass-fiber composite panels. With our capabilities in hardware fabrication along with PolyOne’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.” For more information on PolyOne - Glasforms and GlasArmor ballistic resistant panels, visit https://www.avient.com/products/advanced-composites.

Composite springs (also referred to as flat springs, flippers, energizers, slats, and exciters) from Avient Advanced Composites are engineered with proprietary vinyl ester or epoxy resins and unidirectional glass or carbon fiber reinforcement technologies. Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Continuous fiber-reinforced composites in standard and custom shapes & sizes

The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is becoming increasingly commonplace across a wide range of industries and applications. From engineered, man-made, or natural fiber reinforcements to thermoset or thermoplastic resins, there is a lot to consider when selecting a composite material. Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

At room temperature, the so-called glass transition temperature causes a permanent rotation of the macromolecules, ensuring a controlled release of the various insecticides to the fiber surface and, therefore, permanent and consistent protection. Discover our colorants for spun-dyed and spunbond polypropylene. Enhance the properties of spun-dyed polyester, polyamide and polypropylene.

New Maxxam™ BIO Bio-Based Polyolefins can be filled with up to 40% bio-filler from cellulose fiber.  Aside from sustainability benefits, utilizing bio-based fillers improves lightweighting compared to polymers traditionally filled with talcum, calcium carbonate, or glass fiber. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
