Provide a balance of fusion characteristics and physical properties that result in easier handling characteristics compared to liquid coating systems and high plasticizer absorption.

Formulations engineered to combine the heat transfer and cooling capabilities of metals with the advantages of designing with a plastic

Lubricants improve the flow characteristics of plastics during processing, reducing the amount of heat and energy needed. 

Plastic surfaces can be sensitive or reactionary to a number of factors, but modifying those surfaces during manufacturing can greatly improve product performance.

If you’re considering bio-based plastics for the products in your portfolio but are concerned about maintaining high-quality product standards, our bio-based additives and colorants may provide the solution you seek.

Styrenic block copolymer (SBC) elastomers are some of the most versatile and easily processed materials in the plastics industry.

Sitting atop the plastics pyramid, high-temperature formulations provide robust material performance at elevated temperatures in excess of 300°F (150°C).  

Additive Dispersions are widely used in the rubber and plastics industries to deliver usability, improved process efficiency and enhanced performance.

In July 2020, following our transformational acquisition of Clariant Color, we branded the collective enterprise as Avient —a new name, for a new kind of materials company. Plastic waste is an issue impacting our communities and our world, and we are proud to be a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. Additionally, Avient is a member of the American Chemistry Council and Plastic Industry Association’s Operation Clean Sweep, a set of guidelines for process, training and audit of our operations to prevent plastic pellet loss into the environment.
