Through materials science & formulation expertise, design capabilities and deep market knowledge, we partner with our customers to develop solutions and services that achieve the sustainable attributes desired at the performance level needed for the application. Avient has developed technologies to address these needs, including composites that lightweight to decrease carbon emissions, specialty additive alternatives that enable more recyclable products, and biobased solutions that lower product carbon footprint. As certain chemicals are required to be replaced, our customers need more sustainable alternatives to meet or exceed the performance requirements of their applications.

Suitable for overmolding onto polypropylene (PP), the new TPEs have comparable performance to prime grades, and can replace them in typical applications for lawn and garden, outdoor high performance, personal care, footwear, office supplies, houseware durables, and automotive industries.  In North America, Avient is launching an additional reSound™ R recycled content TPE grade for PC, ABS, and PC/ABS overmolding. The grade contains 30 percent PIR content at 80 Shore A hardness and is compatible with consumer electronics applications such as phone cases.  

In addition, it will feature its advanced, wide-ranging thermoplastic and thermoset composite materials portfolio. For applications that traditionally require surface preparation to achieve proper adhesion, this unique chemistry is a game-changer,” said Mike Mosley, general manager, Advanced Composites at Avient.     Improved Adhesion in Pultruded Composite Materials and Test Methods for Evaluation •    Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Application Development and Implementation: Case Study Review •    Overmolding with Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites for Selective Reinforcement •    Test Sample Preparation of Pultruded Unidirectional Carbon Parts – Issues in Machining Practice and Alternatives

Traditional painting processes for plastics are costly, and they require additional expense to eliminate resulting VOC emissions,” said Say Eng Lee, general manager of the Color Asia of PolyOne. Based on innovative technology that offers exceptional metallic aesthetics without paint, our new colorants are a cost-effective option for these and other appearance applications.” Standard shades include Brilliant Rose Gold, Brilliant Ice Blue, Brilliant Silver and Brilliant Gun Metal, but virtually any hue can be customized for specific applications.

For example, Gravi-Tech formulations impart weight, sound and a metallic finish to caps and closures for both cosmetics and spirits applications, while removing the secondary operations and constraints that traditional metals require. Similarly, metallic-effect GLS TPEs are utilized in cosmetics closures and applicators via an overmolding process, which eliminates the time and cost associated with secondary operations and assembly. In addition, InVisiO designers work with brand owners to develop new color ranges and adapt existing color palettes to bring the brand’s vision to life.

Outdoor consumer applications where superior aesthetics, UV resistance, and high performance are critical, such as powersports, lawn and garden, and marine body panels and housings, are suitable candidates for customized Artisan formulations.  Design engineers for demanding outdoor applications can now achieve vibrant colors, excellent aesthetics, weathering resistance, and improved sustainability without the use of paint.” Additional paint replacement grades for other key industries are in development.

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – January 9, 2023 – Avient Corporation today announced the launch of new, sustainability-enabling cross-linkable formulations for photovoltaic cables in solar energy applications.   In addition, they enable high processing speeds and, due to their unique technology, can offer up to a 50% reduction in catalyst usage compared with competitive technologies.   Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports
