Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Technologies - Product Bulletin Material properties of Polystrand™ Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Technologies 

This includes technologies for lightweighting, colorants for secondary paint replacement, and bio-polymers. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

One answer? One proven approach is to replace traditional vulcanized rubber materials with thermoplastic elastomers, better known as TPEs. Because they remove the need to wash products and simplify bonding to rigid substrates, TPEs require only one to two minutes of processing time from start to finish, and are ideal when producing dynamic and static seals, liquid storage and delivery packaging, and infusion therapy devices.

There are several strategies that can help reduce your carbon footprint, including collaboration across the value chain, manufacturing technologies, and using sustainable raw materials in your products. Carbon footprint technologies: across the value chain – whether it be raw material sourcing, polymer manufacturing, or with OEMs – two main technologies can help reduce your product carbon footprint:  If you would like to explore strategies or technologies to reduce your carbon footprint, contact us. 

Vinod Purayath Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Dr. Purayath joined Avient in 2021to lead the development of emerging, next-generation and sustainable technologies globally for the company. Purayath later joined Applied Materials, as the technology leader for its new Selective Removal Products business, and most recently served as Vice President, Process Technology for SunRise Memory.

Despite using an acrylic sheet with built-in light diffusion technology, the light source was plagued by visual “hot spots.” This optimized combination of additive and color technology eliminated the “hot spots,” and achieved the sought-after bright white light, and streamlined the entire manufacturing process by enabling in-house production. Smartbatch solutions incorporate color, light diffusion technology and flame retardant into a single masterbatch.

Climate change continues to be one of the defining issues of our time, and at Avient, we are dedicated to do our part.
