Developed in response to increasing demand from regional brands in China for greater product differentiation, this collection of color and additive formulations also offers to streamline production and reduce manufacturing cost. To learn more, visit PolyOne at the CMF (Color Material Finish) Inspiration Wall (across from Hall 10.3 Entrance, Zone B) at CHINAPLAS 2019 from May 21-24. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Standard grades contain from 20 to 100 percent recycled content. The trade show runs from October 12 - 16, 2021 in Friedrichshafen, Germany.  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

They also feature excellent bonding to plastics with improved chemical resistance, such as rigid PVC, co-polyesters, PC/polyethylene terephthalate, rigid thermoplastic urethanes and polyetherimide, many of which are now replacing traditional substrate materials. Further, these grades are compatible with PolyOne’s OnColor™ HC Plus USP Class VI-compliant colorants, which resist fading from repeated antiseptic use.  With a Shore A hardness of 48, Versaflex HC 1348 is slightly softer than Versaflex HC 1365, which has a durometer of 65A and a matte finish.  

Avient’s new Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives for polycarbonate are formulated without PTFE, which is typically used as an anti-drip agent in conventional flame-retardant polycarbonate. Attendees are encouraged to visit Avient’s booth 5316 in Hall B5 from October 17 – 21 in Friedrichshafen, Germany to learn more.    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  

As a result, local customers will benefit from an efficient and agile setup, along with expert technical support. For example, the use of recyclable CESATM IR additives, which enable black plastics to be identified for recycling, can reduce the environmental impact of dark colored packaging. Avient also offers color concentrates for biodegradable plastics PLA, PHA, PHBV, PBS, PBAT and special blends of those materials, which do not compromise the organic recyclability of the resins they enhance.

Protect your wire and cable or other products from rats, or termites with these low-concern masterbatches. As a substitute for metallic armor, glass roving or special engineering polymers such as PA12, which are often adopted to protect cables from hostile animals, anti-termite and anti-rat additive concentrates provide a cost-effective alternative to other methods.

These can be used across a broad range of industries and applications, from protective clothing and workwear to synthetic ropes to wires and cables, helping reduce weight and material consumption while enhancing performance.   Avient is exhibiting in hall 9.1, booth A60, at Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, from April 23 – 26, 2024.   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

With the support of the Sustainable Development Office of French Ministry of Interior (Mission Development Durable), more than 250 soft armor vests from the French Police and Gendarmerie Nationale containing Dyneema® ballistic material were taken from the field and tested on a pilot scale – successfully eliminating more than 400 kg of waste to reinstate Dyneema® back into the 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  

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.   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
