With
excellent chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, high dimensional stability, and superior impact and wear resistance, these formulations are ideal for demanding
applications in industrial, electrical/electronics, and transportation sectors.
For example, to meet the customer needs within healthcare industry in 2022, Avient launched Trilliant HC
Glass Filled Polyketone, a lower carbon footprint alternative to traditional nylon materials that meets dimensional stability, impact and wear resistance requirements,
while enabling the customer to address consistency of supply and sustainability objectives.
