nge Accepted.
As a result of the system-based cost savings and
improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the
decision to proceed with the Avient solution.
Higher productivity: The improved flow properties of
the Versalloy solution enabled the hose manufacturer
to increase throughput by two seconds, which in turn
reduced total system costs.
