including the Dyneema® brand) ("Dyneema"), which is expected to close on 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 They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. 

The new Versaflex VDT solution enables a better end-user experience in a wide range of products for which manufacturers seek increased comfort and resilience. The new Versaflex VDT solution can also help reduce noise by minimizing vibrations transmitted from motors and pumps. Applications range from sports and leisure equipment, lawn and garden tools, and consumer electronics cases to kitchen appliances and power tools.

Here are the top three automotive components that can benefit from conversion to molded-in-color: Components that protrude from the body are prone to scratching and impact, making molded-in color a wise choice. Bumpers and other large parts require significant time and space to paint, which can increase manufacturing complexity and cost.

And that wasn’t good for IŞILSAN’s customers, which are textile producers and original equipment manufacturers alike.  In an effort to strengthen the bushings, the company’s engineering team tested materials from several suppliers, but the LubriOne™ wear-resistant compounds from Avient were the most intriguing. The company, which does its own injection molding, found that the polyamide and LubriOne™ combination generated a 50% reduction in scrap rates. 

The ISCC PLUS certification uses a mass balance chain-of-custody approach, which involves third-party accounting and tracking of the bio-sourced content in materials. This method accurately accounts for and traces bio-derived feedstock throughout the value chain, from the raw materials to the final product. The Chin Bee facility is the first Avient site in Asia and the sixth site globally to achieve this certification, including the Malmö (Sweden) and Saint Ouen L’Aumône (France) facilities, which were accredited in 2024.

Cesa Unify A4R is a compatibilizer additive for use with recycled polyolefins, which helps enhance circularity. Attendees at Fakuma 2023 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  

For example, traditional printing technologies can lead to the mark peeling off or surface damage can result from the use of infrared (IR) laser marking.  We are pleased to bring this new UV laser marking technology to market which will allow our customers to meet their stringent performance requirements.” 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

Geon HC 8200 series is formulated for improved chemical resistance to withstand repeated exposure to powerful disinfectants, which are increasingly used in the fight against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), helping device manufacturers to reduce service calls, warranty claims and product returns. Some medical device manufacturers are experiencing a sharp rise in field failures as device housings develop stress cracks from frequent exposure to chemical disinfectants,” said James Stephenson, director, global marketing, PolyOne Geon Performance Materials. We used our expertise in formulating innovative materials for demanding appliance and electronic applications to develop this family of Geon HC materials, which offer superior chemical resistance to many of the strongest medical disinfectants.”

Transcend Premier Healthcare Colorants are being launched in polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resin, which can withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high heat sterilization to 150°C. Clean, vibrant colors in both transparent and opaque options help set this line of high-temperature and high-performance colorants apart from other options.

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.
