CLEVELAND – Consumer, healthcare, transportation and building products manufacturers now have a high-performance material offering both excellent properties and sustainability in one cost-effective, vinyl-based material package. Geon BIO materials are formulated with PolyOne’s plant-based reFlex™ 300 plasticizer,” said James Stephenson, director, Global Marketing, Geon Performance Materials. This creates a truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl that performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing petroleum-based plasticizers.

In addition to potentially causing odor issues, these microrganisms can cause detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to a finished plastic part. Products can now be designed with TPEs that can help extend useful life by inhibiting microbial growth,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient, “and these newly formulated materials also deliver the performance synonymous with our GLS brand of TPEs.”     Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

KIELCE, Poland – May 21, 2024 – Avient Corporation is pleased to announce it will exhibit its latest innovations at Plastpol 2024 today through May 24, providing sustainable and specialized materials solutions and services for the plastics industry. The exposition is Central and Eastern Europe's most prominent event for the plastics processing industry. By incorporating such additives early in the recycling process or blending them with virgin resin, the degradation of material can be significantly reduced, ensuring the quality and performance of recycled plastics.
