Avient will be featuring its portfolio of advanced composite materials and engineered fiber solutions at JEC World 2024.   Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products. Explore Avient’s website for advanced composites, engineered fiber solutions, and Dyneema® materials to learn more.  

DBDPE is a commonly used flame retardant in plastic and rubber materials in many industries, including wire and cable. That’s why we used our material science expertise to create new options for our wire and cable customers,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Like other Syncure materials, the DBDPE-free formulations combine a polyethylene graft resin and flame-retardant catalyst to create a cross-linked solution for cable systems.

As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.” Avient’s portfolio of Gravi-Tech materials combine the aesthetics of metals with the superior processability of polypropylene (PP), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and other thermoplastic materials. These materials are currently manufactured in Asia and are available globally.

As a leading global polymer material formulation expert, Oceanworks® Guaranteed materials are independently validated. Traceability is ensured with Oceanworks Guaranteed material and transaction certificates for each order.
