What’s more, using lubricants to protect a component from wear is a two-step process, because the part must first be manufactured, then coated with oil or grease, adding cost to the manufacturing process. Beyond improved surface appearance, protection from friction, and reduced wear, these polymers also offer the design freedom and part consolidation potential of thermoplastics.

Advanced Edgetek™ Chemically Resistant Materials from Avient Protect Against ‘New Normal’ Disinfection Avient Announces Debt Financing to Fund Acquisition of DSM Protective Materials Avient Completes Acquisition of DSM Protective Materials (Dyneema®)

This meant the raw materials and processing method needed to be reconsidered. An added challenge was to ensure the material was stabilized against potential degradation. This additive protects the door from cracking as it comes into contact with copper particles over time.

The new line was installed at Avient’s Asia regional headquarters in Shanghai to help meet the increased demand for composite materials in applications that require excellent impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength. With the composites market transitioning from traditional materials like aluminum alloy or steel to long fiber composites, we are seeing an increasing need for an integrated approach that includes material formulation, component design, and forming process," says Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia at Avient. Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports
