Because of their vast versatility, polymer composites are already used in a variety of different industries and applications for new industries continue to be discovered. Below is a list of common industries where composite materials are often used.  Our mission at Avient is to solve the world’s most complex material science problems, and that means supporting you from research and development through to production.

Recently, PolyOne introduced Geon™ VBX vinyl powder formulations based on innovative technologies that offer maximum design freedom and efficient production of soft-touch surfaces. These new materials meet or exceed OEM airbag safety requirements for instrument panels and provides up to 15% faster cycle times and 35% lower scrap rates, when compared to standard materials. The company is dedicated to serving customers in diverse industries around the globe, by creating value through collaboration, innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

This industry-first thermoplastic FR composite panel meets ASTM E84 Class A standards for flame spread and smoke density and meets all NFPA 286 corner room burn requirements. The integrated flame retardant technology eliminates the need for additional sheets or coatings to achieve FR performance. Industry Overview

Industry Nuances Every industry has a history and expectation of how things are done. Demands and requirements may vary by region and/or industry, so be sure to lean on the material expertise of your supplier to support you in meeting stringent requirements, such as those found in healthcare and food packaging.
