Avient Composite Heat Release is a new, patent- pending material innovation that can help manufacturers reduce weight and add stiffness to firearm barrels. The internal steel barrel bores are fabricated by the firearms manufacturer to their specifications and SAAMI compliance and are supplied to Avient. Firearms manufacturer- supplied steel bore Low thermal inertia ceramic inner layer Customized carbon fiber composite sleeve

Together, these factors hampered the manufacturer’s ability to reach the market in a timely manner and tightened profit margins. THE SOLUTION Seeking a way to address these challenges, the manufacturer consulted Avient. The Avient team first collaborated with this manufacturer to define the specific requirements for the antimicrobial additive.

CUSTOM FORMULATION IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY AND MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY CASE STUDY: TRILLIANT™ HC SPECIALTY ENGINEERED MATERIALS Ch all en ge A cc ep te d. THE CHALLENGE A manufacturer of high-quality laboratory research products was eager to expand into the conductive pipette tip market. Total Manufacturing Cost Savings: Despite an increase I price per pound over the competition, the manufacturer’s total cash costs were reduced by over $45,000 on an annualized basis as a result of the proven, quantified savings in cycle time, productivity and scrap.

The manufacturer sought high-performance material solutions to create these features and significantly improve the computer user’s experience. The material facilitates two-shot molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly. THE IMPACT The new premium mouse hit store shelves amid positive reviews, generating brisk sales and enabling the manufacturer to improve its share of market.

Enable 100% of products manufactured for packaging applications to be recyclable or reusable. Even more, our manufacturing capabilities are flexible and easily adaptable to changing customer needs. Whether an additional line at an existing manufacturing plant, or a new facility in a growing region, we ramp-up quickly and cost-efficiently. 29 Capex / Revenue 2021E (%) AV I E N T I S A SS E T L I G H T Avient Specialty Formulators Other Chemical/Specialty Companies 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 3 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 6 7 27 A vi e n t A vi e n t (E xc l.

THE SOLUTION The manufacturer worked with Avient to identify alternatives to FEP insulation that would meet requirements in their data cable. After delivering polypropylene-based samples from the Maxxam™ FR line for immediate trial, the Avient team also worked with the manufacturer to help them determine the best pair combination design. Upon achieving full-scale production, the manufacturer was also able to reach line speeds of over 1,000 fpm at thicknesses of 10 mil or below, while reducing material costs by 33%.

THE CHALLENGE A leading lighting products manufacturer was developing its latest offering for the LED luminaires market and looking for ways to solve aesthetic and performance issues while streamlining a complicated manufacturing process. To further complicate matters, the company was under a directive to bring lens production back to the United States to improve manufacturing efficiency. This optimized combination of additive and color technology eliminated the “hot spots,” and achieved the sought-after bright white light, and streamlined the entire manufacturing process by enabling in-house production.
