These blends create parts that can withstand higher temperatures than standard PEEK, with better post-processing shrinkage control and improved colorability.     This higher Tg frees manufacturers to design parts that can withstand greater operating temperatures and high-temperature sterilization without warping. In addition, compared to PEEK, the materials can be processed at lower temperatures to help manufacturers save energy during injection molding.  

UV rays can cause common dyes used in beverages and personal care products to lose color and can initiate oxidation reactions with various types of vitamins that could result in taste and odor changes. Enhance content protection without compromising design flexibility, production efficiency or recyclability Our cutting-edge polymer additives can add function, performance, even profitability

They help to retain transparent properties, and can prevent undesirable color shifts toward yellows and greens. These new toners are formulated without heavy metal or restricted ingredients, and can be used at lower doses in comparison to alternatives like pigment and solid masterbatches. As an industry leader in solving complex material science problems, we are proud to bring this cutting-edge liquid color toner solution for polycarbonate to the market,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.

This leading-edge product answers a growing industry need and demand.”  Rejoin PCR Masterbatch combines pigments and functional additives into a single solution without negatively affecting color or mechanical properties. It can be added during production using standard equipment with little to no impact on processing, and allows for full recyclability of the end product.

Offered long glass fiber thermoplastic with 3x the strength of incumbent short fiber material without a need for retooling Met strength and corrosion requirements while achieving cost savings and reduced processing steps versus a die-cast aluminum part To discuss how long fiber thermoplastics technologies can benefit your aftermarket application, contact an expert at Avient today.

HIVIZ found that when purchasing a firearm, consumers are looking for cutting-edge technology and comfort in gear that stands the test of time. On one hand, soft materials can reduce shoulder impact, but it’s tough to find a material that provides plenty of comfort while also resisting material breakdown. By incorporating Avient materials into this recoil pad, the firearms manufacturer is now confident that the product will stand up to the elements, and deliver cost savings for its consumers

In fact, Avient’s leadership position and expertise in sustainable solutions was one of the key reasons why I joined the company. Avient can and will do much more in sustainability, leveraging our expertise in materials science and passion for excellence. Thank you for your interest in our company, and I hope you enjoy reading this Sustainability Report.

Typical lens profiles achieve roughly 10-15% savings compared to production of the same part in acrylic. Resilience™ LS High Reflectance PVC performs on par with metallized plastics, such as polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and offers higher light reflectance without metallization.

It’s in equipment that helps save lives, keeps food safe from spoilage, lowers the use of fossil fuels, and makes alternative energy possible. However, no one company or country can solve the plastics waste problem. We will continue to invest and work aggressively to eliminate plastic waste in the environment to deliver critical sustainability and performance benefits to people and communities around the world and live up to our promise of meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations’ ability to meet their needs.

As a leading provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions, Avient is committed to meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations’ ability to do the same. We will build strong relationships with providers of leading-edge sustainable technologies.
