This hesitation can stem from several factors: Bottle Development Process: New developments are conducted using small-scale lab equipment, which serve as excellent molding platforms. For this stage to be successful, a large number of preforms — ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 — must be produced for each variant.

Composition The majority of production carbon fibers are made from the precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The precursor undergoes several processes including carbonization and oxidation which produces high tensile & modulus carbon fiber filaments. Carbon fiber can also be produced from other carbon-rich precursors such as Pitch & Rayon.

Obtaining the RC14001® certification is unique as it encompasses security, product safety, and transportation elements, setting itself apart from the individual ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications.”   Additionally, this certification follows Avient’s recent Gold Rating certification achievement from EcoVadis, a globally renowned sustainability ratings platform, for its dedication to sustainability, ethics, and responsible business practices.   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

These collections, which draw upon global trends and expertise in color research, have been developed for brands and designers to inspire future creative decision-making. Color Inspirations 2016 is just one of the exciting elements from InVisiO Color and Design Services, which leverages comprehensive color and materials resources from PolyOne to drive innovation in plastic product development.

The four dynamic palettes represent mindsets that draw from health and well-being, sustainable living, inspired playfulness, and a theatrical spirit. From bamboo to ceramic bisque to fabric, materials are being used to soothe the senses and soften our surroundings. Creating impact is key for this color palette, which seeks to capture attention for the physical, emotional, and social aspects of life.

The filler is sourced from plant waste that would otherwise be landfilled, which in turn would create methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.  The new bio-filled polymer from Avient has enabled us to reduce the carbon footprint of a range of our products by reducing the consumption of petroleum-based polymers.

GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives can help extend a product’s useful life, which results in a reduced need to replace it. Tested against common microbes, GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives are proven to protect finished parts from microbial growth on both textured and smooth surfaces. They are formulated with an EPA-registered antimicrobial from a trusted leader in microbial control solutions, Lonza LLC.

CLEVELAND – June 24, 2021 – Avient today announced the launch of two new grades within its next-generation Barricade™ elastomers product line that expand the durometer range, which now spans from 50 to 90 Shore A. These crosslinkable elastomers are based on Fortrex™ technology licensed from Cooper Standard.

from Sustainability Day participants will hear presentations and insights from members of Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

These braces, traditionally made with steel, were initially fabricated from aluminum for a solid weight savings of 3 kg per vehicle over steel versions. For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating. The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance.
