Clarifiers and impact resistant additives for high clarity packaging that performs Impress™ High Gloss Colorants - Product Bulletin (Chinese) OnColor™ Impress™ High Gloss Metallic Effect Colorants (English)

This not only caused a high scrap rate, but also led to frequent interruptions in the automated process so that the mold and machine could be cleaned. THE IMPACT Avient’s formulation expertise produced a specialty TPE solution that surpassed not only silicone but also competitive TPEs to solve the gasket adhesion problem for this medical manufacturer.

THE CHALLENGE Traditionally, automakers have paired leather interior door panels with luxury vehicles to achieve an overall high-end look. THE IMPACT The Avient solution eliminated processing issues the supplier had encountered with competitive materials, such as air entrapment and demolding difficulties.

Adding to the list of challenges, silicone rubber carries a high price tag. THE IMPACT The launch of the glow-in-the-dark control grips exceeded the company’s expectations.

With customers across the globe, the company places high standards on its products. THE IMPACT Avient’s comprehensive technical collaboration quickly found solutions to the customer’s myriad challenges.

Based on the requirements provided, we recommended Geon™ M5705, a high flow vinyl molding material for outdoor use. THE IMPACT Moving from painted metal to pre-colored Geon M5705 material reduced Smart Hero’s manufacturing costs by over $300,000 annually, due to lower scrap rates and the elimination of painting.

HIGH STRENGTH Ballistic composites offer a combination of robust strength and lightweight properties, making them highly effective in resisting impacts.

These include lightweighting, impact protection, flame retardance, thermal management, EMI/RFI shielding, durable performance, and aesthetics. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics for improved impact resistance and structural performance Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives key characteristics, target applications and impact.

At Avient, we recognize that sustainable business practices can positively impact the issue of climate change. However, by taking advantage of developments in longer-term carbon management and removal technologies and circularity, we are committed to enabling positive climate impacts across our value chain. This tool encourages investments in low-carbon and carbon-free technologies while increasing the visibility of, and encouraging accountability for, the impact of carbon emissions on the business.  

Polyoxymethylene (POM) is often the preferred solution for precision parts that demand high strength and stiffness, a low coefficient of friction (COF), and excellent dimensional stability. However, this semi-crystalline-engineered thermoplastic has toxicity issues due to its residual formaldehyde content, a substance of very high concern (SVHC), according to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
