Make the switch to Avient’s thermoset composite springs, made with our proprietary resin/fiber reinforcement technologies, to gain value in a variety of furniture spring applications: • Superior overall performance • Long term corrosion resistance • High fatigue strength • Deep deflection • Excellent inter-laminar shear strength • Creep resistance • Minimal work hardening • Consistent, repeatable cycles for a lifetime of use With extensive experience in composite spring technology, a wide range of rectangular sizes, and rapid, customized product development capabilities, we can help you create durable, reliable and cost-effective furniture for indoor or outdoor use.

Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

Working together to understand the unique requirements for the company’s conveyor application, the engineering team at Avient developed customized flat springs that provide more consistent quality and longer fatigue life than the original components, improving conveyor performance and longevity.

Trilliant HC High Performance Formulations were developed for the application needs.

Developed to meet these challenges, Edgetek ET8900 CR thermoplastics show improved chemical resistance to common consumer disinfectants compared to PC/ABS, PC/PET and PC/PBT.

Developed for the preservation of high-touch surfaces and applications, these formulations contain antimicrobial additives that continuously inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and molds that cause odor and detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to the finished plastic part.

These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications.

GLS™ TPE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS CHEMICAL RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC, PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate.

Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate.

So we’ve developed the ideal TPEs for your infant care application, from materials that are durable and safe for baby contact to regulatory compliant grades and soft-touch solutions
