How to minimize the risk of supply chain disruption for healthcare plastic colorants and functional additives
Companies in these sectors are now looking for ways to further increase their security of supplies.

For example, through these processes, we have identified potential human rights risks, including: protecting the health and safety of our employees and contractors, addressing modern slavery in the supply chain and preventing, minimizing and eliminating waste contamination in the environment.
We have also established certain due diligence processes to identify and mitigate possible risks in our supply chain, such as in our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement.

Supply chain security: The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile and, when supply gets tight, smaller plastisol producers are often affected the most.
Additionally, supply chain issues around pigments, stabilizers and additives that are taken out of production may leave you scrambling for formulation alternatives.
Larger volumes can alleviate some of the supply chain concerns, so it helps to figure out where you fit in terms of buying power before making the decision to go in-house or outsource.

The company also sought a vendor who could provide rapid delivery and reliable material supply to avoid production delays.
As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Versalloy TPV, which is now used in the production of end cuffs for a variety of repeated-use surgical and respiratory hoses.
Reliable JIT supply chain: The Versalloy material needed by the customer was reliably supplied by Avient in just three weeks instead of the typical six week lead time.
