Thermoset materials are chemically cross-linked and cannot be reprocessed or recycled.
Thermoplastic materials are not molecularly cross-linked and can be reprocessed or recycled.
Common examples are polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polyketone (PK), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).

Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life
and quality of food, beverages, medicine and
other perishable goods through high-
performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize
wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials
and advance a circular economy
• Composite solutions to support accelerated
growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure
investment as the world demands greater and
faster connectivity
Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is
certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding
member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.
