Plastic Waste
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the time required to consummate the acquisition of the Dyneema business; the satisfaction or waiver of conditions in the purchase agreement; completion of the consultation process with the relevant Dutch works council; the ability to obtain required regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents and otherwise consummate the proposed acquisition of the Dyneema business; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the proposed acquisition of the Dyneema business and possible sale of the distribution business; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics.
A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.

The plastic mass is then shaped into filaments, spun, and texturized into an already-dyed yarn.

Bis (2ethylhexyl) Phtalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer and is currently used by PolyOne as a formulation component in the manufacturing of pelletized plastic compounds, mostly for use in the manufacture of wire and cable insulation (wire jackets).
We intend to reduce the use of this substance at the facility. 85449 Phthalic anhydride Yes Bis (2ethylhexyl) Adipate (DEHA) is a plasticizer and is currently used by PolyOne as a formulation component in the manufacturing of pelleted plastic compounds, mostly for use in the manufacture of PVC based plastic wrap.

One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use.
These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications.
They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks.

Sustainability Spotlight Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents Reflection electron microscopy (REM) view of foamed plastic Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are supplied as concentrates CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS (CFAs) are chemical substances that react under the influence of heat to release gas into the plastic matrix during the manufacturing process of plastic parts.
The gases form a cellular foam structure in the plastic that reduces the amount of material needed and hence the part’s weight.
The portfolio includes non-hazardous endothermic substances that require minimum cooling of the plastic parts after manufacturing.

Plastics In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so important.
If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean.
Efforts can be made and systems can be built to keep discarded plastic in the economy to either be upcycled, recycled, reused or composted.
