• Blast and bullet resistance to protect soldiers and military
assets in mortar pits, shelters, and guard towers
• Lightweight for portability and quick deployment without
heavy equipment
• Specific colors required to provide visual cover in the field
• Provided UL 752 Level 3 ballistic resistance,
additional protection by layering panels
• Reduced weight by 75% compared to steel,
improved portability over concrete or
sandbags
• Enabled easy installation with common
carpentry tools
• Customized color formulations to meet
needed camouflage without painting

Renewable Energy From Floating Solar Panels
Avient worked with a progressive customer who designed floating solar panels that float on large bodies of water, and require very demanding weather resistance in harsh environments.
Existing industry solutions failed to protect panels from outdoor exposure and harsh weather conditions.

A more economical but not as fast in output is insert
molding.
In insert molding, a pre-molded rigid plastic substrate or metal part is
inserted into the cavity via robotics or an operator.
The second (over-mold)
material is either injected onto one side of the insert or sometimes completely
surrounds the insert.

Simply Supported Beam Deflection
Hammerhead panel core density at various
panel thicknesses
* To calculate deflection for different panel widths, use the
following formula: Deflection = Chart value* [12 / panel width].
Example: Deflection for 24 inch panel = Chart value *[12 / 24]
Fixed End Beam Deflection - Metric
115 kg/m3 core density at various panel thicknesses
* To calculate deflection for different panel widths, use the
following formula: Deflection = Chart value* [12 / panel width].
