Based on consumer research and design trends, this collection will help automotive engineers and designers increase creativity in color development. One of the first developments is based on the Divergent Desires trend, which explores the convergence of technology and nature in unexpected and often ironic ways that reconcile the differences.

These advanced materials will help increase speed to market and design flexibility for 5G base station antenna manufacturers. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development.

CLEVELAND – PolyOne Corporation today announced the launch of SynPrime™ Lubricant Esters, a family of synthetic base oils and additives featuring customizable diverse chemistries for automotive, aviation and industrial lubricant applications. The initial launch of PolyOne’s SynPrime Lubricant Ester product line includes eight different base chemistries.

This Zodiac Libra silicone ink portfolio includes bases, additives, ready-for-use (RFU) colors, toner colors, pigment concentrates, and special effect inks. Bases and additives are used to produce soft hand, high stretch or other performance characteristics

CLEVELAND – March 11, 2021 – Avient today launched two new materials based on polyketone (PK) that deliver comparable performance and lower production-related CO2 levels than nylon (PA66 and PA6) and acetal (POM). The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials - PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.

CLEVELAND – December 12, 2022 – Avient Corporation today announced an expansion to its range of polyketone (PK) based materials with new Complēt™ PKE long fiber reinforced engineered thermoplastics. Joining Edgetek™ PKE and LubriOne™ PKE materials launched in 2021, Complēt PKE formulations can provide alternatives to nylon (PA) and acetal (POM) based formulations, offering added supply security and sustainable benefits.  

    Color concentrates and formulations developed specifically for healthcare applications in a range of polymers and based on ingredients that meet or exceed requirements for regulations such as USP Class VI, ISO10993   •    Specific formulations for pharmaceutical packaging or drug delivery based on ingredients tested to USP661.1, European Pharmacopeia 3.1, and ICHQ3D extractable metals

POM is based on polymerized formaldehyde, which makes the polymer sensitive to thermal degradation, releasing formaldehyde gas. In each case, the physical property retention of Avient’s PK-based formulations was superior to that of PA6 or PA66. What is the creep rupture resistance versus the nylon-based offerings?
