– February 3, 2020 – At Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West next week, PolyOne will launch its newest medical grade, Versaflex™ HC BT218, formulated in response to supply challenges stemming from silicone shortages and sterilization facility closures.       Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation PHOTO CAPTION: Technicians taking a sample from biotechnological bioreactor in microbiological laboratory.

We’re excited to offer this solution to customers in markets such as energy, infrastructure, electrical and transportation that will benefit from reduced overall system costs and greatly simplified manufacturing processes.” Advanced composite solutions from Avient provide high-strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistant performance for products across a wide range of industries and markets. 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

This development represents a proactive response to demands from our customers in oil & gas, transportation, and industrial industries looking for next-generation engineered materials with a property retention as low as -22°F for pipes, tubing, fluid management, and more,” said Eric Wollan, general manager, PlastiComp at Avient. These materials are especially useful in applications in chemical, fuel contact, and high-moisture environments that benefit from chemical and hydrolysis resistance.   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

In addition, knowledgeable representatives from PolyOne’s distribution business will be on hand to help molders and manufacturers address application needs, optimize medical component performance, and mitigate risk by leveraging extensive material and application knowledge, advanced technical resources, and logistics expertise. PolyOne is exhibiting in booth 2201 at MD&M West in Anaheim, California from February 11-13, 2020.       Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

With the support of the Sustainable Development Office of French Ministry of Interior (Mission Development Durable), more than 250 soft armor vests from the French Police and Gendarmerie Nationale containing Dyneema® ballistic material were taken from the field and tested on a pilot scale – successfully eliminating more than 400 kg of waste to reinstate Dyneema® back into the circular economy.   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  

Wall thickness in the range from 0.060" to 0.120" will ensure good bonding in most overmolding applications. Most GLS styrenic TPEs (Dynaflex and some Versaflex) have fairly high mold shrinkage and cause the overmolding TPE to contract more than the substrate, which can result in warpage or cupping of the substrate part. Prevent the TPE from flashing over areas on the substrate.

These can be used across a broad range of industries and applications, from protective clothing and workwear to synthetic ropes to wires and cables, helping reduce weight and material consumption while enhancing performance.   Avient is exhibiting in hall 9.1, booth A60, at Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, from April 23 – 26, 2024.   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

Protect your wire and cable or other products from rats, or termites with these low-concern masterbatches. As a substitute for metallic armor, glass roving or special engineering polymers such as PA12, which are often adopted to protect cables from hostile animals, anti-termite and anti-rat additive concentrates provide a cost-effective alternative to other methods.

In 2010, we created three externally-certified ISO13485 sites, or Centers of Competence, which offer dedicated production, global project support capability, and the security of back-up supply. Consistent We employ processes to ensure the same products are available from any production facility, meeting the same technical, regulatory and quality requirements. Harmonized product formulations available from all three Centers of Competence.
