AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS EMI/RFI SHIELDING & STATIC DISSIPATIVE FORMULATIONS FOR ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), comprised of sensitive electronics such as sensors, cameras and electronic control units (ECUs), require high-performance materials to protect them from static buildup, EMI/RFI interference and other issues. At the same time, this material makes the housing lighter and more compact than aluminum. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Homepage // News Center // Avient’s Newest Trilliant™ HC Materials Stand Up to Disinfectants Better Than Alternative FR Polymers Heightened disinfection requires materials that retain mechanical and physical performance in the face of these effective, but harsh, chemistries,” said Matthew Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Trilliant™ HC8910 and HC8920 series of materials are made without BPA and available in standard or custom colors.

Homepage // News Center // New Edgetek™ and LubriOne™ PKE Materials from Avient Replace Nylon and Acetal, Reduce Carbon Footprint The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials - PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM. Better still, the two series offer comparable performance to traditional materials and help support sustainability goals across many industries.”

Homepage // News Center // Avient To Add Further Capacity For Medical-Grade Mevopur™ Materials in Asia Pacific Mevopur pre-colored specialty materials are available in a wide range of polymer families. Examples include: •    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

Homepage // News Center // New Edgetek™ Material from Avient Streamlines Production for 3D MID/LDS Applications in Asia Sectors related to 5G, including infrastructure, will drive future applications that create high demand for 3D MID (LDS) technology and materials.     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

Likewise, Mevopur functional additives can help to protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical packaging. Another sustainable portfolio example is Trilliant XR lead-replacement thermoplastics, which achieve critical radiation shielding protection yet avoid the regulatory, disposal, and employee exposure challenges associated with lead. Avient’s sales and technical teams will be at booth 2515 to answer questions and discuss material and application challenges.
