Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations. This project highlights Schneider as a leader in eco-conscious design, and demonstrates the importance of materials that reinforce these efforts while maximizing production efficiency,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe at PolyOne. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.

In designing the housing for the BiowavePRO, Biowave had several objectives. This approach maintained the streamlined design while controlling costs. Usability: Versalloy material makes a major contribution to the ruggedness and versatility of the device.

For the past three years, the Avient Design team has been actively cultivating a meaningful relationship with Virginia Tech's esteemed design program, leading to the sponsoring of a design project that challenges students to create innovative products featuring Avient materials. The students were tasked with designing an automotive aftermarket part that prominently incorporates Avient's long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) materials for a sustainable lightweighting solution. Specialties of the program include design thinking and making, environmental stewardship, applied material science, advanced manufacturing, human factors, and community engagement.
