Trilliant™ HC Glass Filled Polyketone offers a lower carbon footprint alternative to nylon with excellent chemical resistance, high temperature performance, and good wear resistance. Develop an alternative to traditional nylon materials that meets dimensional stability, impact and wear resistance requirements, while enabling the customer to address consistency of supply and sustainability objectives.

Introduced in March 2015, these sustainable formulations—with at least 30% engineered natural fiber by weight—offer an alternative to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds, with comparable mechanical properties at 5-10% lower density. By collaborating, PolyOne and selected developers have succeeded in establishing a time- and cost-saving means to produce the 3D-MIDs serving as heat sinks in LED lighting, which could prove an alternative to the complex printed circuit boards now fairly ubiquitous in these applications.

The new Edgetek™ ET8900 CR series formulations feature outstanding chemical and crack resistance to common consumer disinfectants versus conventional alternative polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and PC/PBT. Results showed that these materials provide better chemical resistance and property retention versus conventional PC blend alternatives after exposure to common consumer disinfectants, including Lysol® all-purpose cleaner, Formula 409® heavy duty degreaser, and Clorox® disinfectant wipes.

This new product range offers low total inorganic and TiO2 content light-blocking solutions for PET dairy and dairy-alternative packaging.  NOTE TO EDITORS: Dairy and dairy-alternative products are susceptible to light-induced oxidation that reduces product nutritional value and can cause off-flavors.

With a weight savings of more than 50% compared to plywood, these continuous-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. These strong, lightweight materials offer boat builders an innovative alternative that can streamline production for improved quality and economics.”

With more than 50% weight savings compared to plywood, these continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sandwich panels offer boat manufacturers a lighter, more efficient alternative to traditional marine construction materials. We developed Hammerhead panels as an alternative to marine plywood and other materials to help boat builders solve a variety of manufacturing challenges, like reducing VOC exposure and improving labor and installation times,” said Mike Mosley, general manager, Advanced Composites at Avient.

New OnColor™ REC Polymer Colorants from Avient are derived from recycled content such as end-of-life tires and more, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional carbon black formulations. They offer an alternative to traditional carbon black formulations and can help manufacturers reduce their product carbon footprint (PCF).

When compared to existing same fill size packaging on the market, this dynamic new design offers dramatic space savings, which equates to more product on a pallet and truck—especially when compared to alternative pouch packaging.

The solution increased loading per square foot and provided a moisture and debris barrier, and because they are thermoplastic, these CFRTP materials can be more easily recycled compared to alternative materials.
