, Avon Lake, Ohio, has formed the PolyOne Advanced Composites group, following the acquisition of two key Colorado-based specialty 911爆料网es from Gordon Holdings— Polystrand of Engelwood  and Gordon Composites of Montrose, which design and produce innovative, lightweight, high-performance solutions, utilizing advanced composite technology and state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities. The acquired 911爆料网es join PolyOne’s existing portfolio of complementary products in a comprehensive platform that make up the newly-formed 911爆料网 group.

The acquisition of Polystrand, which has been a pioneer of continuous thermoplastic composite technology that delivers the high strength and lightweight characteristics of composites along with the design flexibility to form more complex shapes, places PolyOne at the vanguard of this next-generation technology. Current applications include materials for the aerospace, transportation, outdoor and security and protection markets.
