Brand owners and manufacturers are responding by seeking to incorporate materials including post-consumer recycled plastics into their products and processes. Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Using our formulation expertise and operational capabilities, we create an essential link between large chemical producers (our raw material suppliers) and designers, assemblers and processors of plastics (our customers). Plastics are renowned for their durability, aesthetics, ease of handling and recyclability. In addition, we continue to engage and invest in the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW).

Competition The production of plastics and the manufacturing of custom and proprietary formulated color and additives systems for the plastics industry are highly competitive. Raw Materials The primary raw materials used by our manufacturing operations are polyolefin and other thermoplastic resins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, plasticizers, inorganic and organic pigments, all of which we believe are in adequate supply.

Materials can also be enhanced with functional additives to meet stringent product performance requirements. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

High loading and optimized dispersion of pigments provide a cost-effective way to safeguard light transmission requirements while supporting regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical packaging materials. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. Without limiting the generality of this statement, Avient products shall not be used in any medical device application intended for: (1) exposure to human tissue or body fluids for 30 days or greater; (2) “plastic” (cosmetic or reconstructive) surgery use; (3) reproductive implants or any birth control device; or (4) any critical component in a permanently (greater than 30 days) implanted medical device that supports or sustains human life.

Cesa™ Unify™ A4R Polyolefin Compatibilizer for Enhanced Recycling RECYCLED MATERIAL IN A CHANGING MARKET Legislation globally is driving change towards increased quantities of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials, further encouraged by the implementation of usage targets and new tariffs. Both legislation and industry goals have created an increased demand for recycled material across the plastics industry, but especially within the packaging market. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
