CLEVELAND – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, today announced that Robert M. PolyOne Corporation, with 2014 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions. The company is dedicated to serving customers in diverse industries around the globe, by creating value through collaboration, innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Together with the fiber denier, gram weight, and number of layers, this masterbatch ensures the middle layer of the filter can effectively trap smaller particles. Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), with expected 2021 revenues of $4.75 billion, provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.

If, in the process, the solution delivered a lighter-weight part that would be a great value add for Mars Otomotiv’s customers, which were always trying to cut weight to reduce the carbon emissions of the their vehicles. Specific gains include: •    39 percent reduction in the weight of finished assemblies •    50 percent increase in the number of molded heat sinks produced each day •    20 percent reduction in the total cost to produce each heat sink •    Elimination of secondary finishing operations

There are a variety of Avient TPEs designed to have excellent adhesion to a number of rigid plastic substrates for overmolding. If you do not see your substrate in this page, please contact us directly; we can develop a custom overmolding TPE that is optimized to bond to your specific substrate.

Packaging FRP products are supplied on a variety of different size wood or plastics reels along with different lengths depending on the customer’s requirements. Alternate package solutions are also available at the customer’s request. We believe that our ongoing commitment to protect the environment, to remain at the forefront of fiber and coating technology, and to ‘treat others as we want to be treated’ will continue to drive the success of our customers, shareholders, and employees.

Plus, with aggressive disinfecting protocols as the new norm, your equipment must be able to stand up to harsh treatment during its service life.

Product/Service Overview Avient Design services and a custom Versaflex™ wet grip TPE combine to deliver an optimized and aesthetically differentiated fishing tool for outdoor gear OEM Discover the comprehensive technical services available through Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient to assist customers

At Avient, our proven ability to innovate materials that enable our customers’ sustainability goals remains a key differentiator for our company. Avient offers a broad portfolio of technologies that help our customers—and our planet—be more sustainable. We have defined our Sustainability Portfolio in the eight ways we help our customers meet their innovation and sustainability goals.

Some customers want to reduce weight but maintain strength and function, while others need protection against UV light, harsh temperatures, and other elements that might diminish product life. Our materials help customers provide durable, long-lasting products for the casual explorer, the social adventurer, and the extreme enthusiast.  These formulations help our customers make sustainable sporting equipment and protective gear. 

These solutions helped one of our customers satisfy high Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards without compromising desired surface finish, gloss level, mechanical property or density. Maxxam™ helped the customer reduce the VOCs and fogging in their newly launched models by up to 80%, without compromising desired mechanical property or surface finish. Onflex™ Lo TPE helped the same customer replace traditional PU foaming materials for HVAC sealing components, which greatly improved the VOC levels to meet local vehicle interior air quality standards.
