COMPOSITE
SPRINGS
VIBRATORY CONVEYORS
AND SEATING
FEATURE BENEFIT
• Exceptional fatigue resistance
• Corrosion resistance
• Creep resistance
Fewer failures for longer spring life, less frequent
replacement, and a more reliable end product
• High strength-to-weight ratio—less than half
the weight of steel
• High spring rate and deep deflection
• Custom designs to support off-axis loads
Stronger springs can mean fewer are needed
in an application for overall cost savings
• Common sizes in inventory
• Custom design and finishing capabilities
Fast, dependable service, ready-to-install product
and customization options to boost your

The New PolyOne: A Specialty Growth Company
Why Invest In PolyOne?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents for Injection Molding Technical Bulletin.pdf
Benefits of Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents
They are endothermic chemical foaming agents that provide the following
benefits in the injection molding process:
Chemical foaming agents versus other technologies
PP T20 with physical
foaming agent (PFA),
large cell structures,
thin outer cover layer
PP T20 + 3% Hydrocerol
concentrate, small cell
structures, thick outer
cover layer
Photo source:
Neue Materialen Bayreuth
(GmbH)
During the activation reaction, chemical foaming
agents principally react in two ways:
• exothermic
• endothermic
Exothermic CFAs release more energy during
decomposition than needed for the reaction.
