As part of our engagement, Avient is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW), which is a consortium of nearly 30 companies that have pledged $1.5B to help clean up plastic waste.

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. At Schneider Electric, quality, efficiency and environmental sustainability go hand-in-hand, so we were very pleased to work with PolyOne and leverage these non-halogenated formulations,” said Loic Perret, Global Commodity Director at Schneider Electric, which was ranked tenth by Corporate Knights, a Canadian media and investment research company, in its Global 100, a list of the most sustainable corporations in the world.

Vibration in top load washing machines can cause the units to ‘walk,’ which prompts a large volume of costly service calls to the manufacturer. When using Versaflex VDT, kinetic energy generated by the washing machine movement activates molecules in the material, which then converts the kinetic energy into heat energy, reducing vibration and ‘walking.’

Advancement in color-separation technology has helped us tremendously in the past 10 years, but this technology is only effective if the printer uses a predictable and balanced ink set, to which the separations may be calibrated. Opaque inks when used on dark garments may give you the color “pop” for which you are looking, but may overtake an underlay along with any other previously printed colors. This, however, also lowers the pigment load which, in turn, will weaken the color.

In 2016, Avient - which, at the time, was operating as PolyOne - announced development of a lightweight, carbon fiber-reinforced underbody brace, which is offered as a performance upgrade for the C7 generation of General Motors’ popular Chevrolet Corvette sports car.  The Corvette Z06 won the 2015 Car and Driver Lightning Lap with the fastest speed, which also ranked as the second fastest lap time in the history of the event.

FireCon™ chlorinated polyethylene formulations are flame-retardant jacketing materials designed for use in low-voltage power-and-control cables which are routinely exposed to harsh chemicals and low temperatures. These filled, flexible thermoplastic blends are a robust cable jacketing solution for applications in which ignition and flame resistance are crucial, such as industrial, building and construction, and nuclear markets.

CLEVELAND – July 8, 2019 – PolyOne today launched a new portfolio of infrared- detectable black colorants for plastic packaging, which will allow formerly unrecyclable black waste plastic to be properly sorted at recycling facilities. Carbon black makes it impossible for the equipment to identify the waste, which must then be sent to landfill or incineration. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

We continue to benefit from recent investments made in composites and other sustainable solutions which is helping us to deliver adjusted EPS growth in an otherwise challenging environment," said Mr. The sale is subject to satisfaction of regulatory requirements and other customary closing conditions, which the company expects to be completed during the fourth quarter.  Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

PolyOne has already brought innovative ideas to the table in regards to reducing water consumption and contamination, which are major challenges for the industry.”

Mevopur™ Colorants represent a broad range of color concentrates and formulations, developed specifically for use in today’s complex healthcare applications, which meet or exceed requirements for regulations such as USP Class VI, ISO 10993, USP 661 and ICH Q3D. This portfolio includes the recent addition of Mevopur bio-based polymer solutions, which are color and additive masterbatches based on bio-polyethylene resins that have up to 95 percent bio-based content. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
