PolyOne Percept technologies include formulation and consultative services to assist manufacturers and brand owners in minimizing the potential risks and loss of revenue arising from counterfeits in applications such as consumer goods, medical devices, packaging, and consumer electronics. This solution set draws from covert and overt authentication techniques, enabling manufacturers to capably protect their products from counterfeiting or unauthorized distribution. PolyOne provides confidential, expert assistance with technology choice, design, and usage as well as process, product and specification development to assist brand owners in shortening product development times and maintaining quality levels for products that can benefit from positive identification.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 13, 2015 – Sylumis, a leading manufacturer of LED lighting systems based in Lieusaint, France, has successfully replaced metal with a thermally conductive polymer solution from PolyOne in a new, larger model of its Orion™ range of LED spot lamps. Transitioning from metal to specialty engineered polymer solutions helps our customers meet their goals for efficient manufacturing, innovative design and weight savings.” The specialty polymer solution from PolyOne meets relevant safety standards, including a UL94-V0 flame class rating at 3mm thickness, and offers Sylumis significant production efficiencies via injection molding in place of metal forming.

PolyOne has developed formulations based on materials from PVC and polyolefins to the highest temperature fluoropolymers. Its additive solutions help manufacturers speed their production lines, limit shrinkage, protect cable from weathering and flames, and maintain physical properties over the life of an application. PolyOne is exhibiting at WIRE 2016 in Dusseldorf, Germany, at Stand 9/B50 from April 4 – 8, 2016

The device housing features Resilience™ HC, a rigid vinyl formulation designed to resist stress cracking from exposure to a wide range of hospital disinfectants.  After extensive material evaluation, the UltraMIST R&D team identified Resilience HC from PolyOne as a potential solution for their new device. As a small company, we never expected that level of service and speed from a supplier, and the outcome is a well-received commercial product.” 

Customers benefit from shorter lead times due to domestic production, and also from our global network of polymer science expertise.” With the most recent addition of TPE production, PolyOne enables manufacturers to source all of their specialty polymer requirements from a single domestic source. PolyOne is exhibiting this week (Hall H2/Stand E6) at the Plastindia trade show in Ahmedabad, India, where it will be displaying applications that benefit from its TPEs and other specialty polymers.

On display will be material solutions and services capable of meeting customer needs from concept and design through commercialization.  Sustainable portfolio of polymer solutions: Colorants, additives, and specialty formulations from Avient are categorized into eight ways that facilitate sustainable outcomes. Avient is exhibiting at Plastimagen in Mexico City, Mexico, in booth 2114 from Tuesday, March 8 – Thursday, March 11, 2022.

Featured at CAMX is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Applications ranging from trucking and trailers to pipeline reinforcement benefit from the light weight, high strength, and impact resistance of continuous glass fiber reinforced rPET. Avient is exhibiting in Hall C, Booth U32 at CAMX in Anaheim, California, from October 18-20, 2022.  

Recycling Materials into New Composites: Repurposing manufacturing waste to create new composites prevents it from going into landfills. For instance, Avient engineers successfully used 100% PCR PET in composite unidirectional tapes and laminates, and PCR nylon 6 from reclaimed fishing nets in a LFT composite. From manufacturers and engineers to end-users, everyone has a role to play in achieving sustainability goals, and everyone must benefit to be truly sustainable. 

At the time, the boot was injection molded from acrylonitrile-ethylene-styrene (AES) as a standalone part and assembled to the housing separately. However, before making a change involving investment in new tooling and processing expertise, the company wanted to be confident that the solution would make sense from an economic perspective.  Avient gathered detailed data from this customer’s production facility in Mexico and helped them calculate and compare the costs of the two solutions.
