This custom Versaflex grade provides 60 Shore A hardness and superior tear strength. For the mouse feet, Avient formulated a special grade of LubriOne™ filled acetal as an improvement over the neat acetal found in traditional designs. The LubriOne grade offers a kinetic coefficient of friction value (0.108), which is roughly 50% better than that of the traditional material.

They offer a more sustainable alternative to density modified grades based on prime/virgin polymers. Gravi-Tech BIO bio-based grades enable visual surface effects and aesthetics including metallic finish, cool touch and color variation, suitable for applications in packaging and consumer goods such as cosmetic caps and closures, perfume caps, spirit bottle caps and luxury boxes. Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades

These new grades contain 35 to 75 percent bio content, validated using ASTM C6866-21 method B. Eight of the new grades can be overmolded on polypropylene (PP) and the ninth grade bonds to both PP and polyethylene (PE).

Caption: Avient announces reSound™ Ultra Low Carbon Footprint TPE series with industry-first grades offering a negative or neutral product carbon footprint. The addition of these eco-conscious grades to our expanding reSound TPE portfolio offers yet another way for customers to leverage our material science to achieve their sustainability goals.”   The grades, which overmold to polypropylene and polyethylene, can be used in personal care, household appliance, consumer electronics, and consumer packaging applications when a more sustainable material is preferred.

The new grades utilize natural fillers from cellulose fiber, providing an alternative to conventionally filled polyolefins.   The portfolio now includes newly added grades with up to 40 percent filler from cellulose fiber. The cellulose grades have good gloss and surface finish, are easy to color and show improved mechanical properties compared to mineral-filled alternatives.  

SHANGHAI, China – February 27, 2023 – Today, Avient Corporation announced the expansion of its reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers portfolio to include more sustainable grades containing up to 45 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. The new PCR-containing reSound REC formulations are initially available in three grades with up to 45 percent PCR content from recycled lubricant oil and food packaging, covering a hardness range from 40 to 60 Shore A. Avient is also working to extend the portfolio with customized grades to meet specific application needs like color, hardness, and required recycled content percentage. 

Long glass fiber reinforced grades of Complēt moisture-resistant nylon feature surfaces that are smooth and virtually free of visible fiber, making it suitable for a wide range of consumer applications.  Complēt moisture-resistant nylon 6 and 6/6 grades are globally available in several fiber loading levels (weight percentages) using long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations. Additionally, Complēt nylon grades provide lower shrink for applications that require high dimensional stability.

CLEVELAND – July 10, 2025 – Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of the first grade in its new ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ Oxyloop™ portfolio of oxygen scavengers: ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ Oxyloop-1. Avient’s Oxyloop-1 grade has earned the endorsement of the European Platform for Bottle Packaging (EPBP) for bottle-to-bottle recyclability for the colored recycled stream. We are thrilled to introduce the ColorMatrix Amosorb Oxyloop-1 grade to the market," said Dr.
