Avient Polymer Distribution: Featuring a comprehensive portfolio of polymers from the world’s top suppliers, this business unit helps manufacturers to streamline product development including design, material selection, manufacturing processes, and supply chain optimization with local support. 

These formulations were specifically developed to help automotive tier suppliers improve operating efficiencies in a challenging business environment,” said James Petrie, marketing director, PolyOne Color and Additives.

According to conference co-chairman Bernard Powell, senior product manager for PolyOne’s distribution business, the conference will offer the medical community an opportunity to focus narrowly on the benefits of elastomers in healthcare for application areas such as medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, drug delivery devices, prosthetics, and orthopedics. On Tuesday May 21 at 10:00 am, John Scoarste, senior application development manager at PolyOne, will present, “Thermoplastic Elastomer Healthcare Material Selection – It Is More Than Just Materials.”

At PolyOne, we are committed to helping customers grow their business with safe and environmentally sound solutions. We have worked very hard to develop a solutions portfolio that meets both marketplace requirements and applicable regulatory requirements to help customers succeed in today’s rigorous regulatory climate,” said Scott Craig, general manager for PolyOne Wilflex Inks.

This project combined PolyOne’s strengths and expertise – distributed medical-grade materials, FDA-compliant colorants, pre-colored medical grade polymers, and design and processing support – to create color consistency and accelerated product development for the Dexcom G6 CGM. In addition, PolyOne’s distribution business unit recently collaborated with material supplier Covestro to produce an original eBook, titled, “TrendWatch™ Materials Matter for Connected Health,” which offers insights into the IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) landscape and implications for material selection and design.

Molders and brand owners in the region trust us to help with complex decisions along the product development lifecycle,” said Robert Zusy, general manager, PolyOne Distribution. PolyOne Distribution delivers technical training and support, product design support, manufacturing support, and supply chain optimization in order to help businesses ramp up their operations faster.

This solution was developed as a plug-and-go option compatible with standard PET extrusion lines, making it easy for manufacturers to integrate it into their existing production processes. For more information on how Lactra ESL can benefit your business, please contact the Avient team today.

Tenure of our relationships with multi-national OEMs exceeds 15 years. Our exceptional polymer scientists and design engineers are integral to their product development process. It’s in this spirit that we joined legacy PolyOne and the Clariant Color business, two complementary businesses, and formed a new one that we’ve named Avient.

Avient’s dedicated Global Product Stewardship organization is responsible for ensuring that all products within the portfolio are developed in accordance with applicable local and international laws, regulations and accepted guidelines.   This commitment to monitoring and managing these business activities is demonstrated through our Global Chemical Management Policy. Animal Testing & Welfare – In the course of developing new products, Avient is required to conduct tests for product safety.  

A key part of our management systems are internal audit and review programs, which periodically examine plant operations and develop recommendations to enhance performance. Avient strives to achieve high environmental standards in both mature and emerging markets through the development of security and environmental management systems, audit/review procedures, certifications, local training programs and best-practice management systems.
