These methods include:
PULTRUSION
• Fibers are impregnated with liquid thermoset
resins, then pulled through a heated die to cure
the resin and form the product
• This continuous, automated manufacturing
process creates constant cross section profiles
of any pre-determined length with consistent,
uniform quality and exceptional mechanical
performance
• Applications include rods and profiles of various
lengths and complexities, such as utility poles,
insulator core rods and structural beams
CONTINUOUS FILAMENT WINDING
• Combines the principles of filament winding with
pultrusion to create constant or tapered cross-
sectional tubing in precision sizes
• The unique axial and biaxial fiber orientation
provides flexural and tensile strength, as well as
crush and burst resistance
• Applications include lightweight shelter frames
and sporting goods components
CONTINUOUS RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (CRTM™)
• Engineered core materials are sandwiched
between structural composite laminate face sheets
• Continuous composite sandwich panels feature
high specific strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio
• Applications include ballistic resistant panels,
truck floors and rail car doors
CONTINUOUS FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS
• Fully recyclable tape, X-Ply™ (0°/90°), and other
multi-ply configurations with widths up to 10' wide
• Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths,
up to 6" thick and 10' wide
• High volume production capacity
• Applications include structural and aerodynamic
components in transportation, and reinforcement
of materials such as wood and metal
THERMOSET COMPOSITE LAMINATES & BARSTOCK
• Unidirectionally reinforced barstock, laminates
and hybrid composites engineered to maximize
deflection and fatigue resistance
• Customizable shapes and sizes
• Applications include archery bow limbs, flat
springs, prosthetics, sporting equipment
THERMOSET FINISHING OPERATIONS
• Customized finishing capabilities for barstock and
laminates including machining, water-jet cutting,
profiling/shaping, sanding, slitting, laminating,
molding and coatings
TESTING CAPABILITIES
• Mechanical – Flexural, tensile, compression, shear,
fatigue, impact resistance
• Physical – Specific gravity/density, Barcol
hardness, water absorption, void content,
resin/fiber content, dye penetrant, viscosity
• Thermomechanical – Coefficient of linear thermal
expansion, glass transition temperature, deflection
temperature, degree of cure, curing properties
• Electrical – High-voltage, low current dry arc
resistance of solid electrical insulation, dielectric
strength, water diffusion

PRE-COLORED FORMULATIONS
PROCESSING GUIDE
Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics
Artisan™ AR7300 pre-colored thermoplastics are customized ABS formulations to help manufacturers achieve
brilliant and high-gloss metallic effect, excellent chemical resistance, and scratch resistance.
Runners
• Full-round runners or modified trapezoid runners are the best designs.
• Half-round runners are not recommended.
• Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended.
• Runner diameters should not be less than the part thickness.
• Runner diameter should be 1.5x the part thickness.
• Step each 90° bend in the system down in size.
• Place vents at each 90° intersection and vent to atmosphere.
• Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.

REHEAT ADDITIVES FOR PET MANUFACTURING
Challenge: Virgin PET yellows when recycled.
ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ RHC Process Aid - APR
accredited process aid for rPET manufacturers and
converters that improves the recycling and sustainability
of PET bottles; enhances bottle blowing process, provides
better thermal stability, increases mechanical strength of
bottle, and reduces yellowing.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/AVIENT_TPEs and LSR eBook.pdf
Silicones
Across dozens of industries and in a countless number of applications,
product designers and manufacturers have turned to thermoplastic
elastomers (TPEs) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) to replace natural rubber.
Colorants added in the mixing
phase of the manufacturing process can generate transparent, translucent or
opaque colors.
Unlike LSR, they
can be easily recycled and reprocessed, virtually eliminating waste from the
manufacturing stream.

Broadly, the HCS covers how
chemical manufacturers must determine and communicate the hazards of their products.
This means that when inhaled, the effects may be indicated from testing conducted by the manufacturer,
but that under other use or exposure conditions, the effect is not associated.
