Avient’s team of sales and technical professionals began by carefully listening to the customer’s stated needs and current situation. Avient’s development team went back to work and quickly developed a flame-retardant grade that meets UL requirements for a V0 rating.

The team at Rolatube saw an opportunity to leverage their rollable composite technology to reimagine the typical telescoping tripod design. THE SOLUTION The team at Rolatube had a few non-negotiable performance requirements when considering composite material options for the tripod legs.

After fully understanding all of the requirements, Avient’s technology team began to formulate an easy- to-mold, durable and aesthetically pleasing specialty polymer that provided processing flexibility and wouldn’t require retooling. From there, the Avient team identified material options that offered high flame retardancy and finally, requirements for processing flexibility and colorability were applied.

The handle concept was key to the redesign, according to the Victorinox team. THE SOLUTION Avient engineers guided the Victorinox team early in the development cycle for the new Soldier’s Knife, proposing a combination of materials for the handles that would meet the design aspirations as well as Swiss Army standards for durability.

The technical services team at Avient worked closely with the European material engineering team at DENSO under the lead of Mr.

In 1997, the Frog Legs team developed an innovative alternative to the rigid casters commonly used for the front wheels. THE SOLUTION Moving away from machining, the Frog Legs team embraced injection molding, enabling them to create more intricate shapes.
