Key areas of focus include advancing a circular economy, reducing carbon footprint, and developing more sustainable alternatives. Developing More Sustainable Alternatives Avient has developed technologies to address these needs, including composites that are lightweight to decrease carbon emissions, functional additives that lightweight or improve the recycle content of plastic packaging, and biobased solutions that lower product carbon footprint.

MANNHEIM, Germany - March 14, 2018 - Advanced polymers, colorants, and additives from PolyOne are enabling automotive manufacturers to develop new components and technology that meet increasing demands for fuel economy and safety. Our robust portfolio of specialty materials and colorants, together with our experience in developing automotive applications, enable our customers to keep pace with these developments." To support customers' design and development of next generation vehicles, PolyOne's automotive materials portfolio includes: 

Avient unveils new grades of Cesa™ Withstand™ to include antimicrobial and antifungal additives for TPU film-laminated products and devices in applications where combating microbe development is highly important.   These new grades are developed to enhance the performance of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film-laminated products and devices in applications where combating microbe development is highly important.   Other applications that can be further developed include portable energy storage, protective equipment, outdoor apparel, and air sleeping pads.

TOKYO – July 17, 2019 – PolyOne today announced it has developed new polymer formulations in response to highly innovative fifth generation (5G) telecommunications network development. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development. We’re confident that our innovative material solutions and product development support will enable telecom manufacturers to make that expectation a reality.”

These solutions are developed to help solve and comply with the complex challenges and regulatory demands in the industry.   Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations: represent a broad portfolio of polymer colorant solutions developed specifically for today's complex and highly regulated applications. Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: high-temperature solutions developed specifically for medical applications.
