We wanted to make it easier for our customers to create durable piping systems by developing a plastic flapper valve that could be easily fused onto polyethylene (PE) pipe. THE SOLUTION Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique, high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.

Developing the most appropriate formulation for an application is our forte. We have helped customers develop parts that are: • Wear-resistant: End products such as bearings and sleeves that do not require lubrication • Conductive: Electrical and/or thermal conductivity, in molded and extruded parts • X-Ray opaque: Used for medical and dental devices.

This can help to reduce inventory and can allow the use of general- purpose resin Avient Value-Added Services Avient supports these colorant and additive technologies including: • A focus on sustainability with innovative materials and solutions to help you meet your sustainability goals, including PCR Color Predication Service and Product Footprint Calculator • Leading Color Trend and Design Services - Trend and color insights along with product development assistance from concept through commercialization to optimize design and gain speed to market • Avient Design - A highly specialized group of industrial designers and project engineers that provides advanced design and detailed analysis to foster higher levels of innovation • Application Development and Technical Support - Technical experts specifically trained to work directly with your team to solve definitive application challenges with new or existing approaches • Regulatory Support - Dedicated product stewardship assisting with new product approvals to reduce regulatory overheads and minimize risk • Reliable field technical services and support - Onsite support for tool design, startup, and production optimization to gain manufacturing efficiencies and help resolve technical issues

Colorant Chromatics PSU, PES and PPSU colorants are designed specifically for use in these resins to help boost color consistency and streamline product development for increased speed to market. Custom colors and pigment loadings can be developed for specific applications and can be combined with our anti-yellowing additives

Product developers reported that they needed a better TPE to provide superior bonding performance with ABS without requiring high temperature and pressure during 2K molding. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability

Always on the lookout for environmentally friendly technologies, Schneider-Electric has developed a reputation for having the “greenest” applications on the market, helping to differentiate itself from competitors by its proactive approach. Finally, the OnFlex-S HF grade was developed to bond sufficiently and be chemically compatible with polypropylene.

History The technology to produce Phenolic Fiber was initially developed in the late 1960’s with commercial fiber production and development by Gunei Chemical Industry Co. based in Japan.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Zodiac™ Aquarius™ waterbased inks have been developed to meet the sustainability demands of the consumer without compromising the performance and durability demands expected by the printer. HIGH SOLIDS INK Zodiac Aquarius™ high solids ink were developed to meet the performance and durability requirements of sport brands.
