The Plastics Pipe Institute The Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) is a major trade association representing all segments of the plastics piping industry. PPI promotes contemporary use of plastics piping for water and gas distribution, sewer and wastewater, oil and gas production, industrial and mining uses, power and communications, duct and irrigation. 

Co-Create: Customizing Your Product During the second phase, the brand owner and the plastics processor work together to develop customized solutions for the specific needs of the application. HiFormer™ Liquid Technology for Plastic Coloration - Video HiFormer™ liquid masterbatch technology can help brand owners and plastic converters optimize the coloration of plastics used in applications ranging from personal care, food and beverage, appliances to construction and toys

Static charges that build up on the surface of plastic products can attract dust and dirt, cause sheet and film to cling, and cause stacked products to stick together.   Dust-free Plastic Surfaces for Automotive Interiors Looking for a solution to prevent dust settling on plastic surfaces in automotive interiors?

Dust-free Plastic Surfaces for Automotive Interiors Looking for a solution to prevent dust settling on plastic surfaces in automotive interiors? Mevopur nucleating agents help neutralize the effect colors can have on the mechanical properties of the finished plastic part to avoid warping and size variability.

HiFormer™ Liquid Technology for Plastic Coloration - Video HiFormer™ liquid masterbatch technology can help brand owners and plastic converters optimize the coloration of plastics used in applications ranging from personal care, food and beverage, appliances to construction and toys HYDROCEROL™ chemical foaming agents help to reduce the weight of automotive plastic parts like dashboard carriers, interior trim parts, door panels or glove boxes.

This includes increasing customer and employee engagement, optimizing our cost structure by capturing additional synergies from the Clariant acquisition, and minimizing working capital.” Examples include: • Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • 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 • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions.

Fueling this growth, in part, are public commitments from brands across a range of industries to increase their use of recycled plastics. Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic PolyOne employs approximately 5,600 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

Growing concerns over single-use plastics and their impact on the environment are prompting legislation changes globally.

As part of the OnColor™ Polymer Colorants masterbatch portfolio, this group of ten masterbatch colorants enables plastic to mimic naturally occurring materials such as stone, marble, and granite. Formulated using a proprietary process, colors in the Shades of Nature Collection will give brand owners a wide range of possibilities in creating individual, artisanal looks in plastic. In combination with surface texture and part geometry, these masterbatches give plastic parts the appearance of naturally-occurring materials so that, for example, designers could create a toaster that appears to be carved out of granite.

Among all the different types of plastics on the market today, why would anyone choose polyaryletherketones (PAEK), polysulfones (PSU), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), polyetherimides (PEI) and polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) for their application? While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C.
