We create specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Our customers value the breadth of our solutions as we can tap into a broad array of raw materials to solve their specific needs. Our formulation expertise supports material science decisions, while our processing expertise guides customers to use the materials properly.

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.
