Innovating Tomorrow's Materials Solutions Today Avient exists to innovate materials solutions to help our customers succeed, while enabling a sustainable world. By intersecting secular trends with our advanced technologies, we’re innovating materials that are shaping tomorrow’s world…today!

Lightweight Materials for Cars Structural composites are lightweight, fatigue resistant and easily molded to shape, making them ideal substitutes for components in a car’s frame, body, or suspension. Catheter Materials & Medical Tubing

Here, continuous fibers, such as glass or carbon, are pulled through a thermoset resin bath, such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester, and then formed into a desired shape using a die. Custom engineered: Pultrusions can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including rods, tubes, and beams, as well as more complex profiles. If you are a design materials engineer looking for a high-performance composite material for your application, pultruded composites are a good option to consider.

A perfect fit for laser welding technology, the new Edgetek materials give designers the exceptional flexibility to shape a part that offers maximum aesthetic and functional performance. The materials also offer an admirable sustainability benefit because they can be laser welded into the required final shape in one go, eliminating secondary process that consumes extra energy.” These materials are currently manufactured in Asia and are available globally.

These pellets are sent to manufacturers who reheat the pellets, then form the material into the size and shape needed for their products. Performance Reheating rPET, so that it can be molded into a bottle preform shape, also decreases the plastic’s intrinsic viscosity (IV) due to a decrease in polymer chain length. This diminishes the material’s strength and capabilities.

Color and shape define our world. Determining the “right” color, and a shape that will resonate with your customers, involves complexities ranging from the psychological to the practical. What colors and shapes will make an emotional connection with customers, yet set you apart from competitors?

Reliance on Materials of Low Residual Value The environmental and economic impacts of a material can vary greatly. Industries often choose a material because they are economically advantageous, but this also means the material can have low residual value.
