THE SOLUTION Avient proactively worked with Piranha to develop the next generation propeller. THE IMPACT The main objective of this development work was to provide an alternative to one-piece solid aluminum and stainless-steel props while enabling similar performance.

THE CHALLENGE Elausa Electronics specializes in the design and manufacture of electronic components for industrial and automotive industries, working in close collaboration with many automotive OEMs and Tier 1 companies for electronics and lighting applications. THE SOLUTION Avient worked with Elausa to develop a thermoplastic solution to suit their requirements and Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations were chosen as a potential fit.

Avient and Southern States worked together to develop a modular design using GlasArmor ballistic panels. We have worked closely with Avient for years and are ready to help other utilities as they seek to improve their security infrastructure.”

Foaming parts is a well-established technology used to successfully reduce part weight, supporting OEMs to reduce fuel consumption and work towards achieving their sustainability goals. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

Through their close work with amputees from all five activity levels of the MFCL system, the team at WillowWood recognized that prosthetic options were limited for K2 amputees who are able to handle more uneven surfaces. THE SOLUTION Leveraging decades of experience creating customized composite materials for archery bow limbs and other high-performance applications, the engineers at Avient worked closely with WillowWood’s special products team to identify a solution.

Our formulation experts can also work with your design team to tailor a product that meets your specific color and performance needs. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

THE SOLUTION HIVIZ had several years of experience working with Avient materials for shotgun sights. After reviewing the requirements, the Avient-HIVIZ team worked to find the right balance of soft-touch feel, recoil reduction and durability that serious enthusiasts value.

HOW IT WORKS Excelite additives typically contain 70%wt of active chemical foaming agent (CFA), dispersed in a liquid carrier, thus promoting greater product efficiency. EXCELITE VS POWDER • Enables a greater level of density control, through consistent distribution in the polymer • Simplifies and optimizes resin compounding capabilities (PVC dry blends) • Enables greater control over foaming and expands processing window when re-introducing regrind • Clean and highly accurate dosing process, with fewer of the health and safety concerns that can become apparent with powder CFAs EXCELITE VS PELLET • Being significantly more concentrated, Excelite additive enables lower total cost to foam • Can achieve lower density, less carrier influence • Finer and tighter cell structure through better additive distribution • Improved linear consistency of cell structure as ColorMatrix pumps continually meter output, giving greater stability over material dosing • Improved plant working capital as lower let down ratios means less material is consumed and reduces inventory holdings TECHNICAL SUPPORT • Avient has a market leading service team which understands foaming processes, we assist customers to deliver performance and production efficiencies with Excelite™ technology • Please contact your local Avient representative for additional information on our line of foaming additives www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Beyond transportation, cars continuously transform industries, economies, and social dynamics, influencing the way we live, work, and interact with one another. Vehicles are a fundamental part of our existence, from commuting to work and running errands to embarking on memorable road trips, fostering independence, connectivity, and a sense of adventure.

THE SOLUTION The manufacturer worked with Avient to identify alternatives to FEP insulation that would meet requirements in their data cable. After delivering polypropylene-based samples from the Maxxam™ FR line for immediate trial, the Avient team also worked with the manufacturer to help them determine the best pair combination design.
