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 Plastic Waste Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business, results from operations, financial condition and liquidity; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; our ability to successfully integrate Clariant's Masterbatch business and achieve the expected results of the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including, without limitation, the acquisition being accretive; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends including at the increased rate; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, costs reductions and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

The growing adoption of plastics with PCR content by Asian automakers in the past decade, especially for interiors, has also created a significant rise in demand for PCR-based TPE solutions capable of delivering excellent overmolding results on higher-performing polymers, such as PP,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Our new reSound REC AF 7210 TPE series responds to this trend and addresses upcoming regulatory changes in export markets, such as the European Union, where a newly proposed ELV directive requires high recycle contents for plastic components.

Fluoropolymers are a family of exceptional, high-performance materials that are widely used today – and for good reason, since they are stable plastics that resist degradation under harsh conditions and are inherently flame retardant. 2 Sina Ebnesajjad, “Introduction to Fluoropolymers,” Applied Plastics Engineering Handbook (Elsevier, 2011) pp 49-60.   3 The Fluoropolymers Division of the Society of the Plastics Industry, Guide to the Safe Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins–Fourth Edition (2005).

Avient will highlight these colorants at its booth today for the start of Chinaplas 2024, the world’s leading plastics and rubber fair in Asia.   Avient will be exhibiting its broad portfolio of advanced technologies for the plastics industry, including its new OnColor durable orange nylon colorants for high-voltage EV connectors at Chinaplas 2024 from April 23-26, in Hall 8.2 Booth F31 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center of Hongqiao, Shanghai.

Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers integrates directly into plastic materials and migrates to the surface during molding to facilitate a smooth demolding experience. This process can help reduce cycle times and boost productivity by reducing demolding times and protecting the mold and the manufactured plastic parts while utilizing an alternative to PFAS-based additives. Limiting Damage: By acting as a lubricant, Evoluscend™ additive can help limit mold damage, supporting the longevity and quality of the mold and the plastic products

The quality of the laser plastic welding process hinges on how transmissive or absorptive the components are to laser energy. Compared with ultrasonic and vibration welding, plastic laser welding provides an array of benefits, such as unmatched production efficiency and consistent, high-quality results,” said Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

LUXEMBOURG – October 12, 2021 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today unveiled new bio-filled polymer grades at the international trade fair for plastics processing, Fakuma.  The new reSound™ NF bio-filled solutions will be on display alongside Avient’s ever-growing portfolio of sustainable solutions, supporting its recently published 2030 sustainability goals, and enabling its customers to overcome their material challenges in moving toward a plastics circular economy.   Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers, a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced quality, durability and aesthetics. The new products have been very well received by consumers, and have allowed the company to neutralize the competitive threat from all-plastic sprayers. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability.

Ensure Sustainable Solutions: Plastic packaging is one of the 20th century’s most important inventions: it’s highly recyclable, consumes less water and energy than paper and other materials, and is a safe way to deliver products while preserving their quality. Yet it's also an irrefutable fact that plastic packaging is a major cause of global littering and pollution. We offer products that are specially designed to increase plastic recycling capabilities.
