Avient worked with a progressive customer who designed floating solar panels that float on large bodies of water, and require very demanding weather resistance in harsh environments. Fixed in idle waters in Taiwan in this case, Avient’s integrated colorant and anti-UV solution is expected to provide 25 years of weathering resistant performance.

As part of their search for an alternative, Mars Otomotiv’s engineers met with Avient to explore non-metal options for the part. Again working in tandem, the Mars Otomotiv engineers and Avient’s technical team were able to alter the mold so it could process the thermoplastic in place of aluminum. They completed the metal-to-plastics transition in less than four months – bringing production in-house while using the same tooling.

Together, this allows textile manufacturers to increase production speeds, flexibility, and process control. Our technology not only improves sustainability, it fosters rapid, on-site design and scale up, enabling economically viable smaller lot sizes and improving production flexibility overall," said Our advanced fiber colorant technology is critical to helping these manufacturers address sustainability, production flexibility, and speed-to-market goals to stay on top of these trends."
