The adhesive properties of thermoplastics enable the construction of sandwich panels and reinforcement of materials such as wood and metal through thermal lamination without requiring additional adhesives. The existing solution — reinforcing the latch area with a steel plate — added vehicle weight and involved additional manufacturing processes, increasing time and cost.

These new additions to the reSound REC TPE portfolio are comprised of 60 percent post-consumer recycled content, while delivering performance attributes comparable to those of traditional products – including aesthetics, haptics and physical properties. For further environmental protection, the new Edgetek™ PKE materials include an NHFR additive, providing flame retardant performance to the UL94 V0 standard.

Featured healthcare material, colorant and additive solutions include:  In addition, PolyOne is announcing a new agreement with Total Polymer Solutions (TPS; Rathcoole, Ireland) in which TPS will distribute healthcare solutions to its customers from the NEU Specialty Engineered Materials business of PolyOne.  

Avient’s Hammerhead FR Flame Retardant Composite Panels are an industry-first, patent-pending thermoplastic composite sandwich structure featuring integrated flame retardance that can eliminate the need for additional FR sheets or coatings. Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

CLEVELAND – December 9, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, announces the addition of flame-retardant (FR) grades manufactured without intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials to its portfolio of Complēt™ PKE Long Fiber Reinforced Polyketone Thermoplastics. Beyond performance, various eco-conscious aspects of these long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) bring additional value to the market.

We provide customers with additives, scavengers, and toners that improve the quality of recycled PET. Avient’s additives can improve processability during the bottle blowing phase and improve the mechanical strength of bottles.

Dual Light Barrier for Packaging: OnCap™ Light Shield additive effectively absorbs both ultraviolet (UV) and visible light from clear packages to protect light-sensitive substances, such as food and pharmaceuticals, from degradation. In addition, this specialty solution improves color stability and maintains polymer clarity.

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – February 28, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, is pleased to announce it is extending its Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations portfolio with a grade containing up to 60% ocean-bound plastic waste in addition to recycled fillers, making the total recycled content as high as 98%. Additional food contact-compliant formulations are also available as part of the broader Gravi-Tech REC portfolio.
