PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), with 2018 revenues of $2.9 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

These polymers, together with Avient’s application design and prototyping services, allow for faster prototyping and shorter lead times compared to ceramics traditionally used in telecom applications.

This high-tech facility is helping us to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process to see how and where problems occur.

Compounded antistatic polymers produce parts that repel dust and uphold a vehicle’s interior clean look, and they provide an alternative to laborious cleaning.

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites provide superior ballistic protection at considerably less weight than comparable steel or concrete panels.

Through molecular engineering, Dyneema® was able to innovate its third-generation fiber at the polymer level.

With dope-dyeing, the colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.

Targeted for applications such as dental scalers, surgical robots, medical stock and shapes, and portable cardiac monitoring devices, the Colorant Chromatics Transcend Biocompatible PEEK range addresses key industry challenges, such as the need for re-sterilizable and reusable high-temperature polymers that meet biocompatibility standards and maintain good color stability.
