Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working
capital reductions, cost reductions, employee productivity goals, and an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;

The PET packaging market is experiencing
significant growth, driven by increasing
sustainability demands, higher recycling targets,
and the shift away from alternative materials
such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP).
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
• Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including:
- Hot steam sterilization
- Hot fill
- Microwave use
• Polyester
• Sheet extrusion & thermoforming
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and
microwave applications
• Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity
and improved gas barrier
• Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C
• Available in both transparent and opaque
options
• Processable on existing thermoforming lines
with heated molds
KEY BENEFITS
• A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET
polymer content
• Promotion of the circularity of PET and the
resulting packaging is possible
• Helps customers to comply with the Packaging
and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that
demands recyclability of all packaging with
binding PCR content targets by 2030
• Demonstrates improved productivity in
comparison to CPET during thermoforming
• Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on
difficult-to-recycle packaging

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/versaflex-computer-mouse-case-study.pdf
Its design
team determined the need for a soft-touch material
with strong chemical resistance and color stability for
the mouse grip.
Further, they needed a low-wear, low-
friction material for the mouse feet.
THE SOLUTION
Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design
team again turned to Avient for its unparalleled
portfolio of materials, ranging from specialty polymers
to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

Overview
FIBER-LINE® develops, produces, and markets a full line of high
performance strength members.
High Strength Synthetic Fibers Outperform Steel
Our Products add
• Strength
On an equivalent weight basis, fibers like Aramid, LCP, and PBO are
5-10 times stronger than steel.
• Chemical Resistance
High performance fibers resist soiling and the absorption of water,
solvents, and other chemicals.
• Abrasion Resistance
HMPE as a jacketing material, is a great example of the excellent
abrasion resistance of high performance fibers.
• Fatigue Resistance
Aramid Fibers have exceptional bending and tensile fatigue
resistance.
• Safer Handling
Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they
are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and
completely eliminates fish hooks.
• Dampening
Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load
dampening properties.
