Avient’s featured range of products on display includes customized protection film materials, adhesive TPEs for textile fabric, bio-based TPEs, and specialty engineered materials developed to enhance product performance in the building and construction, automotive, and consumer industries. More brand owners in the plastics and rubber industries are now looking for sustainable and innovative alternative materials that can also meet performance demands," says Flight Xu, General Manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for Avient, “As a global provider of specialized TPEs and specialty engineered materials, we have also developed lightweight, recycled, bio-based, and eco-conscious materials with a lower carbon footprint than virgin alternatives to support sustainability goals from conception to commercialization.”   reSound™ BIO TPEs: contains 40 to 90 percent bio-based content within a wide hardness range (which can help reduce carbon footprint) and has performance characteristics that are comparable to standard TPEs

This includes lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, portfolio expansions including bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy. Maxxam™ REC, Maxxam™ BIO, and Nymax™ BIO grades: An expanded portfolio of recycled and bio-based polyolefin and polyamide formulations now manufactured in Europe.

Drawing from its comprehensive portfolio of specialized global polymers, additives, and colorants for healthcare, Avient’s on-site experts will focus on a growing list of compliant technologies, bio-based and other sustainable alternatives to traditional materials, and its design services that support product development. Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions provide a unique family of color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70-95 percent bio-content and pre-tested raw materials to help reduce carbon footprint and mitigate risk. They are offered in pre-colored or concentrate form in a range of vivid opaque and transparent colors that are fully bio-compatible per ISO 10993 standards to provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance without compromising safety.

When a goal is to develop a more sustainable end product, the preferred raw material can be either bio-based or recycled. Bio-based raw materials typically have more color options than recycled raw materials, as the feedstock can be slightly more consistent. Bio-based raw materials can have more color choices than recycled raw materials because their feedstock is typically more consistent.
