Composite Heat Release Technology
Go Lighter, Heat Slower & Cool Faster
Firearm manufacturers are consistently looking for new and innovative methods and materials to enhance the performance and the appeal of their products. The barrel is a key component of the firearm that influences both accuracy and aesthetics. Avient’s Composite Heat Release is a groundbreaking, patent-pending material innovation that can help manufacturers achieve lighter, stiffer barrels. This proprietary technology combines multiple layers of carbon fiber and ceramic composites applied to manufacturer-supplied steel bores, and leverages the principle of thermal inertia to accelerate heat dissipation from the barrel's bore. The result? A barrel that is light weight, heats slowly, cools quickly, and is visually appealing.
Impact
- Incorporates ceramic and carbon fiber reinforced composite onto a manufacturer provided, Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI) compliant steel barrel blank
- Reduces overall barrel weight
- Increases barrel stiffness
- Improves heat transfer and reduces barrel bore temperature over multiple rounds
