THE SOLUTION With its global footprint, Avient was able to work with DENSO both in initial trials in Japan as well as locally at a manufacturing facility in Europe. This global reach also allowed Avient to respond quickly to mold trials, and eliminate import and shipping challenges. THE IMPACT Through a combination of its global footprint, expert technical services, and local production, Avient accepted DENSO’s challenge and responded with a new customized formulation that exceeded performance requirements, eliminated overmolding, and reduced cycle times.

While evaluating several grades, the accessories company worked with Avient’s global color and additives group to develop a glow-in-the- dark solution. Avient was able to meet the customer’s exact requirements for color and duration. According to the company, the precise thumb control and long-term comfort has made these new accessories “wildly popular.” 1 http://www.statista.com/statistics/237749/value-of-the-global- entertainment-and-media-market/ AVIENT HELPS GAMING ACCESSORIES COMPANY TAKE AIM AT NEW OPPORTUNITIES © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more, please contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368)
