Thermally conductive formulations can also be electrically isolative or conductive, combining thermal performance with protection from electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference, depending on the needs of the specific component.  Moreover, the ability to mold polymers into complex shapes reduces the need for additional parts, simplifying battery pack assembly and lowering labor costs. 

While Kevin White, the nonprofit’s founder, had a clear vision, he needed support to take his idea from concept to reality. Thanks to Global Vision 2020 and Avient, the USee™ has a positive impact on improving vision for billions of people around the globe who need vision correction but have no access to it.

The electronics industry is continuously shaped by various trends, including the need to reduce both energy use and VOC emissions. There is an ongoing market need for electronic applications to achieve superior aesthetics and performance, lower system cost, and greater sustainability,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing for Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip.  The Avient team worked with the manufacturer to meet specific property needs and developed a customized solution that added soft-touch, ergonomic, and friction-free features.

From beverages and condiments to personal care and household products, you need the right protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. Keep it simple: Get the color and additive enhancement you need from a single concentrate

For LEDs, heat needs to be effectively dissipated to prevent premature failure. The Mars Otomotiv engineering team needed to eliminate all of these issues by finding a different material for the heat sinks.

Companies placing medical devices and packaged pharmaceuticals on the market need their products to comply with healthcare standards, no matter where their products are sold and no matter where they procure their raw materials. The concentrates need to be diluted with virgin polymer during the conversion process to achieve the right amount of color or additive in the plastic.

Satisfying all of these needs for deep black colorants in the textile industry has proven to be challenging over the past few years as certain color technologies could meet only one or two but not all requirements,” said Mauro Dallavalle, senior marketing manager, Color & Additives Fibers at Avient. Our new deep black colorants are formulated to help meet all of these needs and can be customized to achieve a specified deep black intensity in virgin and recycled polyester grades, making them suitable for different textile applications.”
