MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY
LubriOne™ polymers offer greater design freedom
compared to metal and improved manufacturing
efficiency.
PFPE Natural Migrates to the surface, but not all of it
since some is trapped in the polymer.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-06/Colorant Chromatics FEP UV Laser Marking Product Bulletin.pdf
Therefore, these polymers
are a common choice for wires & cables in many
industries, such as the aerospace industry.
Depending on the cable construction, fluorinated
ethylene propylene (FEP) is the preferred polymer
used for insulation of a conductor or as jacketing
of one or more cables.

PMMA
Considering lens performance, Resilience™ LS Frost PVC offers properties and
material performance similar to PMMA, often at a significantly lower cost.

Opportunity
More efficient production and distribution
processes, reduced natural resource usage,
continued use of recycling, and inclusion of
recycled materials in our products such as
reSoundTM R, ColorMatrix™ Capture™
Oxygen Scavenger, among others will
contribute to increasing product revenues
and reduced operating costs
Resource efficiency efforts supported by
capital allocation in NDC countries is more
likely and may accelerate a path toward
maximizing ROI and reducing operating
costs
Less regulatory and pressure to incentivize
may cause gains from efforts to lag
Energy Source
Opportunity
Use of greater external financing options,
such as operating lease arrangements or
energy performance shared savings
contracts, to source lower emission-energy
and new technologies, such as carbon
capture, utilization & storage (CCUS), in our
operations may reduce operating costs and
maximize returns on investment
Use of lower emission-sources of energy in
operations will lower operating costs and
contribute toward reductions of our scope 1

intensities
Use of renewable energy, increased

Performance
Reheating rPET, so that it can be molded into a bottle preform shape, also decreases
the plastic’s intrinsic viscosity (IV) due to a decrease in polymer chain length.
Colored PET—As manufacturers look to transfer packaging away from less recycled
polymers to PET, there is an expectation that color will remain an important brand
differentiator on the shelves.
One common challenge with using rPET bottles is the breakdown of the
polymer chains that occurs as the material is heated and remelted during
processing.

History
PET is the most common thermoplastic polymer in the polyester family.
It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry.
