New hammerhead FR flame retardant composite panels from Avient featured at JEC World 2025

Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of advanced composite technologies and engineered fiber solutions next week at JEC World 2025, the leading international composites trade show.

This includes highlighting the company’s new Hammerhead FR Flame Retardant Composite Panels, an industry-first, patent-pending thermoplastic composite sandwich structure featuring integrated flame retardance that can eliminate the need for additional FR sheets or coatings. The panels can be used in modular construction walls, flooring, and ceilings and can replace gypsum, drywall, and framed assemblies with a consolidated, lightweight structural solution. They also meet ASTM E84 Class A standards for flame spread and smoke density and passed NFPA 286 corner room burn testing.

In addition to Hammerhead FR panels, Avient will showcase technologies that offer high strength, weight reduction, and durability for a wide range of industries and markets, including:

• Thermoplastic Composites:
  • Polystrand Continuous Fiber Tapes Laminates: fiber-reinforced unidirectional tapes and multi-axial laminates
  • ThermoBallistic Ballistic Resistant Panels
  • Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels: structural foam core sandwich panels
  • Polystrand Thermoplastic Composite Panels: honeycomb core sandwich panel
• Thermoset Composites:
  • Gordon Composites Thermoset Laminates & Barstock: continuous glass and carbon fiber barstock, laminates, and composite springs
  • Gordon Glass Archery Bow Limbs
  • Glasforms Pultruded Rods, Tubes & Custom Profiles
  • GlasArmor Ballistic Resistant panels
• Engineered Fiber Solutions:
  • Fiber-Line Engineered Performance Enhancing Fiber Processes: including Coating, Twisting, and customized Braiding aramid, glass, carbon, HMPE, and LCP fibers
  • Fiber-Line Extrusion Process: thermoset pultruded rods and custom extrusion-coated fibers
  • Fiber-Line Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic Tapes: fiber-reinforced thermoplastic unidirectional tapes
  • Upcoming high-performance carbon composite technologies

Avient will exhibit at JEC World in Paris, France, March 4-6, 2025, in Hall 5, Booth F49, at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Park. Avient’s Polystrand Thermoplastic Garage Door Panel will be displayed in the Industry Planet exhibition area in Hall 5, Booth F147.
