When this manufacturer approached Avient to explore
solutions, it explained how customers had a hard time
deciding which equipment was genuine and which
was pirated.
As the Avient team looked into the differences, it found
that the customer was marking its genuine articles with
direct or indirect hot stamp foil and ink methods.
Customers received genuine
product backed by the reputation of the manufacturer,
not some pirate

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites combine thermoset
or thermoplastic resins with fiber reinforcement, the resulting
product having substantially different properties than the
individual components.
Advantages
Recyclability, enhanced toughness, chemical
resistance, noise and vibration damping,
post-formability, and lower density
DURABILITY
STRENGTH
• Corrosion resistance for
marine and deep water
applications
• Improved shock
resistance with
aramid fibers
• Protection from shrapnel
for military barriers
• Structural performance in
aerospace and marine markets
• High tensile strength for
industrial applications

Additionally, thermoset materials can have more chemical and oil
resistance, so they may be more suitable than TPEs for applications such as a part
under the hood of a car.
