Engineered polymers can be designed with specific thermal properties, possessing either excellent thermal conductivity or enabling efficient heat dissipation from the battery cells. 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. 

From blood drives to food drives, and from elementary classrooms to high school mentorship programs, Avient associates pitch in to help make where we live a better place.

HEPA filters remove dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from the air. They are available globally, and are supplied from Asia and Europe. 

– February 3, 2020 – At Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West next week, PolyOne will launch its newest medical grade, Versaflex™ HC BT218, formulated in response to supply challenges stemming from silicone shortages and sterilization facility closures.

In addition, knowledgeable representatives from PolyOne’s distribution business will be on hand to help molders and manufacturers address application needs, optimize medical component performance, and mitigate risk by leveraging extensive material and application knowledge, advanced technical resources, and logistics expertise. PolyOne is exhibiting in booth 2201 at MD&M West in Anaheim, California from February 11-13, 2020.

We’re excited to offer this solution to customers in markets such as energy, infrastructure, electrical and transportation that will benefit from reduced overall system costs and greatly simplified manufacturing processes.” Advanced composite solutions from Avient provide high-strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistant performance for products across a wide range of industries and markets.

By combining cloud-based color creation software, unique liquid color technology, and a global network of ColorMatrix facilities, the new platform helps customers to create and order custom colorants quickly, reducing development and supply turnaround time from weeks to days – or even hours. Global Availability: Approved color formulations reside in the cloud, and can be called upon to produce colorant for supply from any number of global ColorMatrix facilities to any number of customer facilities for shortened lead times, complete color consistency, and brand integrity.

This development represents a proactive response to demands from our customers in oil & gas, transportation, and industrial industries looking for next-generation engineered materials with a property retention as low as -22°F for pipes, tubing, fluid management, and more,” said Eric Wollan, general manager, PlastiComp at Avient. These materials are especially useful in applications in chemical, fuel contact, and high-moisture environments that benefit from chemical and hydrolysis resistance.
