Complēt and Onforce composites have structural characteristics that provide stiffness, strength, and toughness, making them ideal alternatives to metals. Using these composites as a metal replacement also fosters significant weight reductions along with the time and cost savings benefits of single-step injection molding.

Additionally, Avient’s team of specialized industrial designers and project engineers at Avient Design possess extensive knowledge of both materials and molding. They are well-equipped to provide our customers with crucial insights into design and materials, helping them launch groundbreaking products that can meet their constantly evolving industry requirements.

If local and regional customers require, these Complēt and OnForce formulations can be tailored to meet specific application requirements by utilizing a range of engineering resins, from polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) to polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polyphthalamide (PPA) for power tools, sports equipment, utility vehicle, furniture, and outdoor recreation applications.
