At Avient, we are proud to be a part of the solution, supporting the shift from a linear economy to a circular economy and driving sustainability for all of our stakeholders. The expanding beverage market in Asia Pacific and the ease of bottle-to-bottle recycling is expected to drive further growth for this use case. These commitments and mandates will continue to drive the high and increasing demand for recycled plastic bottles.

This enables accurate readings, reduces static discharge, and drives repeatable part performance. Less tendency to flash results in improved appearance and less fluid retention in or on the tip, thus driving greater accuracy and less potential for cross-contamination.

The use of heat in an attempt to drive the toner into solution will result in a dispersion which is in a state of super saturation. GENERIC SCHEMATIC FOR TONER PREPARATION Large Mixing Vessel Small Mixing Vessel Agitation or stirring drives.

These resources, coupled with innovative service offerings such as IQ Design and LSS Customer First, have been the driving force behind our sales growth." Richardson continued, "Two of our segments, Performance Products and Solutions and Distribution delivered record levels of second quarter operating income, largely driving results for the quarter.  Patterson said, "I'm pleased with our success in driving revenue growth - and especially proud that all four of our segments delivered organic top line expansion for the second consecutive quarter.
