Creating a Great Place to Work Our global team embraces challenge; we continually strive to work better together. That’s what makes us one of the world’s great places to work.

This includes increasing customer and employee engagement, optimizing our cost structure by capturing additional synergies from the Clariant acquisition, and minimizing working capital." to Work®.

Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend. All of the components in the midsole worked together to create a shoe with custom cushioning and optimum energy absorption and return. The components and materials were carefully designed and engineered to work together properly and optimized for geometry, thickness, flexibility and performance.”

After grabbing more than 8% of the market within six months of the release of its flagship vehicle, the engineers at a game-changing electric car manufacturer went back to work fine-tuning the details. Working together, the team developed a natural ABS formulation with an additive package that provided consistent color along with heat-stabilizing properties. These improvements freed working capital for other projects, and helped keep production running at a consistent rate for annual savings estimated by the company at more than $200,000 a year.

We focused on controlling costs and reducing working capital, generating an additional to Work® culture," to Work®.

The second approach involves eliminating the use of fluorochemicals (the carbon fluorine bond) and working with alternative hydrocarbon chemistries. Working with alternative hydrocarbon solutions, which are inherently less robust, requires more customization for a given application, possibly adding complexity to product solutions.   Working to provide customers with alternatives, the Avient approach is to follow five key steps:

Working closely with the Citroën design team, PolyOne developed a specialty OnColor™ Smartbatch™ color and additive system that allows the distinctive panels to meet stringent UV stability, appearance and durability requirements. Added Palm, “By working with Citroën and its Tier I suppliers, we were able to develop an advanced solution that provides the panels with uniform, attractive, and durable color despite exposure to sunlight, heat, and detergents. TPU materials are rarely selected for a vehicle’s exterior, but by working together, we were able to overcome several material-related challenges.

The OEM had several years of experience working with Avient Smartbatch™  – a combination of color and performance-enhancing additives in a single pellet. After reviewing the requirements, the two teams worked to customize a color and additive concentrate using carbon fiber to produce the desired visual effect that would make the interior pillars and headliner look like they were covered in fabric. Improved quality and reduced waste: It eliminated uneven quality and high scrap rates that were inherent to working with fabric-covered parts.
