They also offer an array of additional benefits
including:
• Reduced logistical and assembly costs
• Extended product life to reduce part
replacement and warranty expenses
• Corrosion, weather, flame, and fatigue
resistance to improve component durability
• Reduced energy consumption during
installation and use
At Avient, we work with customers to customize
our composites to meet application-specific
material and performance requirements.
Polystrand composite panels are made with
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic face
sheets thermally bonded or adhered to traditional
core materials such as honeycomb, foam,
aluminum, and nonwovens as reinforcement.
Avient also offers custom
configurations including fiber concentration,
additives, and colors based on our customers’
requirements.

Integrated, non-halogenated FR: Engineered to meet fire retardance standards
without the need for additional fireproofing layers.
In addition, the panels feature easily paintable surfaces and strong
adhesive bonding properties.
Our Hammerhead FR composite panels consist of specially formulated
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) sheets bonded to a
thermoplastic foam core.

Biopolymers and recycled materials can be colored using sustainable colorants and additives.
Utilizing sustainable-based colorants and additives can lead to a stronger environmental story and the potential for sales to increase up to 2.5% (McKinsey & Company, 2023).
Customizing the material may include incorporating functional additives and modifiers such as fibers, foaming agents, oxygen scavengers, flame retardants, and UV blockers.
