The two-gram gasket is a critical component for keeping contact lens solution from leaking out of the container. But before making the decision to switch from silicone to the Versaflex material, the company needed to feel confident that it would recoup its capital, which included a $50,000 investment in new tooling, within 12 months.

Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.  

Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider Electric’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency. At Schneider Electric, quality, efficiency and environmental sustainability go hand-in-hand, so we were very pleased to work with PolyOne and leverage these non-halogenated formulations,” said Loic Perret, Global Commodity Director at Schneider Electric, which was ranked tenth by Corporate Knights, a Canadian media and investment research company, in its Global 100, a list of the most sustainable corporations in the world.

Avient will exhibit at Hall 5/First Floor/Booth A5 at PlastIndia 2023 in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from February 1 to 5. Knowledgeable representatives from Avient will be on hand to help manufacturers address challenges in meeting sustainability and performance goals and offer visitors the opportunity for in-depth collaboration and discussion.

With our new ECCOH 5702, workers can more easily guide it through conduit, even those with very complex designs and shapes, which reduces installation costs.” Tests conducted by PolyOne on cable extruded from ECCOH 5702 specialty polymers reveal a CoF up to 75% lower than standard LSFOH (Low Smoke and Fume, Non-Halogen) formulations. Caption: Optical fiber cable made with ECCOH 5702 solutions from PolyOne is easier to install in complex conduit and over long distances.
