Suzhou, China 55. Execution of this strategy is achieved by our business segments working closely with our individual facilities, the EH&S team, and the Planet Sub-Committee. Water usage is primarily confined to essential sanitary applications and process cooling, with a notable emphasis on closed-loop recycling to minimize consumption.

ColorMatrix AAnchor is a non-ATA-based product with very low levels of migration to support compliance with migratory limits even in closed- loop recycle systems, where risk is highest.

Uses in industrial settings are generally under controlledconditions and often in closed system.

Working closely with the manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material required a special combination of properties: • A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed • Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective electrical connection and at the same time allow for snap-fit installation • A cost-effective solution that would enable the manufacturer to compete in this new market Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU Avient’s engineering and technical experts work closely with firearms manufacturers in the barrel development process to understand their needs and requirements, and to customize a solution.

These solutions are the answer or environments where smoke mitigation is of particular concern, such as those within closed spaces where means of escape is restricted (e.g., hotels, large office blocks, off-shore installations, trains, metros, and ships). 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
