These
monomers are then polymerized into chains called polymers, or plastic resin, such as polyethylene and
polypropylene, in their most basic forms.
The major types of thermoplastics
include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester and a range of
specialized engineering resins.

Dear Valued Customer,
As part of PolyOne’s commitment to offer our customers the most value in a competitive global marketplace,
we are making changes to our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in order to meet the coming requirements
of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
These new documents will be
called Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Novel_Thermoplastic_elastomers_for_overmolding_applications.pdf
These include semi
crystalline and amorphous polymers such as polypropylene, high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate
(PC), polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene
terephthalate (PBT), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), polyphylene oxide (PPO),
polyoxymethylene (POM) and polyamide (PA).

Why is PET
so Popular?
Sheet & Film—Sheets and films made
of PET are another major use case.
PET
sheets can be used to make a variety of
plastic products and film is often used
for tape backing, plastic wrap, medical
packaging, and protective coating on
windows.

Flame-retardant technology uniquely embedded
into the panel materials provides robust and
durable fire performance without the need for
additional sheets or coatings.
KEY BENEFITS
• Lightweight: Significantly lighter than
traditional materials such as wood, drywall,
and framed wall assemblies, offering a
lightweight yet durable solution for easier
transport and installation, while maintaining
structural integrity
• Durability: Resistant to rot, moisture,
chemicals, UV, and corrosion, ensuring long-
lasting performance
• Efficiency: Consolidated structural panel
reduces labor and assembly time, maintaining
structural integrity throughout the installation
process
• Versatility: Can replace gypsum and drywall
in wall construction, offering strong adhesive
bonding properties and paintable surfaces
• Material Consolidation: Integrates flame
retardant properties and eliminates the
need for additional sheets or coatings for
fireproofing, simplifying the building process
• Highly Customizable: Avient offers a wide
range of custom size configurations and panel
options, allowing builders to meet specific
project needs
• Sustainability: FR technology is not
halogenated or phosphorus-based, and is made
with benign ingredients at low concentrations,
making it an environmentally friendly option
Hammerhead™ FR Flame Retardant Composite Panels
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
APPLICATIONS
• Modular Construction Structures: Ideal for rapid
assembly, reducing construction time and costs
• Walls: A durable and lightweight alternative to
traditional wall materials, suitable for both interior
and exterior applications
• Flooring: Provides a strong and stable base for
various flooring systems, withstanding heavy loads
and traffic
• Garage and Industrial Doors: Offers excellent
strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to impact
and weather, making it an excellent choice for
demanding environments
