A new eBook from Avient titled, “Smarter Materials™: High-Performance Thermoplastics” can help answer these questions and be a valuable resource for anyone considering the use of these advanced materials, which are ideally suited for very demanding environments.   Avient’s new eBook discusses these complexities, while offering practical guidance to better understand the selection of colorants, base materials, and use.  

Avient also soak-tested its performance against other chemicals including 10% hydrochloric acid, 10% calcium chloride, antifreeze, 10% ammonium hydroxide, 12% sodium hypochlorite (bleach), and ethanol. In each case, the physical property retention of Avient’s PK-based formulations was superior to that of PA6 or PA66. However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin.

Avient developed a technology suite that uses specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics and helps our customers meet their goals to lower the carbon footprint of their products versus traditional materials, like PA66 and PA6.

One of the key properties of thermoplastic elastomers supplied by Avient GLS is hardness.

Avient developed new recycled-content materials to enable its customers to achieve their goals and add options for the circular economy.

Avient’s CORE™ Vinyl Plastisols have been shipped in new collapsible totes for some time, and have been well received by customers.
