As a member of the American Chemistry Council, we have adopted
Responsible Care® Guiding Principles and the Product Safety Code of
Management Practices to guide our efforts in material sourcing,
development and management of our product portfolio throughout the
value chain and life cycle.
Sustainable and ethical management of our products protects our
employees, customers and communities in which we operate, while

W/ STRENGTH MEMBERS
• Strength members in cables
• Steel replacement
Overview
FIBER-LINE® develops, produces, and markets a full line of high
performance strength members.
High Strength Synthetic Fibers Outperform Steel
Our Products add
• Strength
On an equivalent weight basis, fibers like Aramid, LCP, and PBO are
5-10 times stronger than steel.
• Chemical Resistance
High performance fibers resist soiling and the absorption of water,
solvents, and other chemicals.
• Abrasion Resistance
HMPE as a jacketing material, is a great example of the excellent
abrasion resistance of high performance fibers.
• Fatigue Resistance
Aramid Fibers have exceptional bending and tensile fatigue
resistance.
• Safer Handling
Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they
are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and
completely eliminates fish hooks.
• Dampening
Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load
dampening properties.
We believe that our ongoing
commitment to protect the environment, to remain at
the forefront of fiber and coating technology, and to
‘treat others as we want to be treated’ will continue to
drive the success of our customers, shareholders, and
employees.

Ready for testing, the new material was subjected to
rigorous environmental testing, including months of
sun exposure and long-term placement in humidity-rich
environments.
Ultimately, Avient customized a GLS™ wet grip TPE
that outmaneuvered traditional materials—delivering
dynamic hydrophobic performance, translucent
aesthetics, non-abrasive comfort grip, and excellent
UV protection.
Adding to that success, the material’s ability to retain
traction when wet opened doors for SurfCo to expand
into new markets and applications.

Polymers must be cross-linked to withstand the high temperatures generated by the metal wires they protect.
UV resistance: Permanently outside, these cables need excellent weather and UV resistance to protect them from degrading in direct sunlight.
Producing a material that achieves all these at a thin coating thickness is a challenge.
