KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents for Injection Molding Technical Bulletin.pdf
Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents simply require
an accurate additive or color concentrate feeder/
blender, which is usually on hand at most molders.
Furthermore,
azo compounds are characterized by a yellow color,
which can lead to undesired color changes.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-03/380605_AVIENT_2024AR_full_250325.pdf
Our expanding portfolio
of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional
additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s
strongest fiber™.
In doing so, both of
our segments, Color, Additives & Inks and Specialty
Engineered Materials, contributed to our strong
performance with increases in revenue while
expanding margins.
