KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Fabric FX can be formulated to include properties
such as UV color protection and anti-scratch
performance
• Fabric FX can be processed on standard molding
machinery
• Different matrix materials can be enhanced with
Fabric FX, including ABS, PC/ABS, PB, and unfilled
or talc-filled PP
• There is no limitation on the graining that can be
used; the fabric effect will differ depending on the
grain effect engraved in the tool
• If parts are extruded or a mold is not engraved,
final parts will have an attractive speckled
appearance, but will not be textured
TYPICAL USES
Fabric FX concentrates are suitable for any application
that could benefit from an enhanced textile-like
appearance.

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.
THE IMPACT
Not only did the Gordon Composites vibratory springs
outperform the company’s originally specified spring
components, they provided a number of additional
benefits:
Ready-to-install springs reduced labor and
simplified installation
Unlike alternative springs, Gordon Composites springs
are factory machined to the required size and pre-
drilled for a significant reduction in cutting and drilling
processes and allowing valuable labor time to be
allocated elsewhere.
