The foundation of Avient Protective Materials is the renowned technology and globally admired brand of Dyneema®, the World's Strongest Fiber™.  The ultra-lightweight specialty fiber is 15 times stronger than steel and is used in demanding applications, such as ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, industrial protection and outdoor sports.  Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility

The students were tasked with designing an automotive aftermarket part that prominently incorporates Avient's long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) materials for a sustainable lightweighting solution. Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, and outdoor sports Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility 

FIBER-LINE SWELLCOAT™ WATER BLOCKING YARNS support 5G antennae, data centers, and backbone cable designs to prevent equipment damage and signal attenuation due to water ingression in the cables. Meanwhile, our purchases of Polystrand and Fiber-Line tout technological expertise that is poised for the next-generation of sustainability demands as well, with thermoplastic composite innovation and materials solutions that enable the build-out of 5G fiber optic cable infrastructure. These efforts are in line with our commitment to sustainability and provide impact and credibility to our operations around the world.

After delivering polypropylene-based samples from the Maxxam™ FR line for immediate trial, the Avient team also worked with the manufacturer to help them determine the best pair combination design. Upon achieving full-scale production, the manufacturer was also able to reach line speeds of over 1,000 fpm at thicknesses of 10 mil or below, while reducing material costs by 33%.

These solutions provide a well-controlled laser transmission rate and weld width, excellent welding strength, and gas tight weld line without weld flash.
