The masterbatches are offered in pellet form and developed for optimal fiber coloration in the POY, FDY, DTY, ATY and BCF manufacturing processes. Developed for spin-dyeing, a fiber dyeing process that requires no water and less energy than other conventional dyeing methods​ Discover Avient's deep black colorants specially developed to provide intense jetness to spun-dyed polyester textiles.

As the wire and cable market in Southeast Asia continues to rapidly develop, new design solutions and innovative materials are more critical than ever to maintain a competitive edge,” said Barto Du Plessis, PolyOne vice president, Asia. We have experience in developing specialty polymer formulations that meet the challenges these products face in extreme environments, and we are continuously developing new technologies to better meet the growing needs of our customers.”

During development and prototyping, the engineers used an SBS-type elastomer for this critical component – but they hadn’t settled on materials for mass production. Better manufacturing efficiency: Cycle time for the two-part manufacturing process was 60% quicker than had been anticipated during development and production trials, and scrap rates were lower than expected; Based on reduced lead times and supply chain costs to get the same formulations from Avient’s manufacturing facilities in China, Andwin Scientific is working to develop Asian markets for the SealSafe® adapter.

SHANGHAI – June 1, 2022 – Avient today launched a new family of Versaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials developed for fatty-food-contact (FFC) applications that must comply with migration limit standards in Europe and North America. Avient product development efforts are focused on helping customers comply with the regulations in food contact applications,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Avient’s expertise lies not only in formulation development but also in helping customers optimize their product design and increase the likelihood that the end product will be compliant.

The rapid growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry is generating extensive research and development in battery technologies. Polymers can be molded into complex shapes, enabling the development of custom battery configurations that can fit into limited spaces. As research and development continues, we can expect further advancements in battery technologies, leading to even more efficient and sustainable electric vehicles. 

To support customers’ Device Master File submission for healthcare materials, Avient has developed and submitted a type III Drug Master File (FDA) for these colorants. Avient constantly monitors the evolution of regulations in the healthcare industry and develops products to help customers comply with them well before they come into effect,” said Beate Treffler, market development manager EMEA, Color and Additives, at Avient.

Never a group to rest on its laurels, the Brooks design team decided to take the company’s shoes to an entirely new level by developing a truly adaptable cushioning system that would respond to the unique characteristics of each runner -- from weight, gait and running surface, to pressures and speeds. Other shoe companies had developed electro-mechanical systems to adapt cushioning stiffness, but runners were generally unhappy with the results. The Brooks design team members turned to Avient for help developing a solution that would work seamlessly with Brooks’ proprietary TPE blend used in the shoe's midsoles. 

We expect seasonality of the business to play out in the third quarter and estimate sales of $1.15 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.68. Eastern Time on July 30, 2021. 3 *Pro Forma The company acquired the Clariant Masterbatch business (“CMB”) on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”). Management believes this provides better comparability of the performance of the combined businesses.

ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R addresses this performance issue and is the latest in a portfolio of solutions Avient has developed to enable high-quality recycled packaging. This emerging technology was developed in 2021 and is undergoing testing with major brand owners.

Developed in 45 to 55 Shore A durometers, Avient’s reSound™ REC grades are ideal for general purpose applications in the consumer and automotive industries. These material developments create an opportunity to help divert mountains of valuable resources from the waste stream and upcycle them into new products.
