Novel TPE materials that can overmold onto various engineering plastics also were reported elsewhere (2-4). Figure 3 shows the capillary viscosity of TPE-1A, B at 200°C, which has good flow characteristics for injection molding applications. Both TPE-1 and TPE-2 also possess good flow properties suitable for injection molding applications.

This means fewer color iterations, fewer color trials, and fewer plastic bottles traveling from one zone to the other. The K show is the world’s largest plastics industry event.

Patterson added, “We are an asset-light, high-touch business that generates very high free cash flow conversion. Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions; and amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions.

Versaflex™ HC BIO BT218 TPEs: a finalist for the Plastics Industry Association’s People’s Choice for Plastics Sustainability Innovation Award to be announced at NPE, this grade of bio-derived thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables while offering the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint. Plastics Pact's 2024 Sustainable Packaging Innovation Award for Recyclability, which will be announced at GreenBiz Group's Circularity24 (May 22-24, Chicago, IL), Capture is a groundbreaking oxygen-scavenging technology embedded in the closure for PET packaging that can enhance product preservation sustainably and has already received Critical Guidance Recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR). Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

We have established CycleWorks to study and meet the challenges of plastic recycling while furthering its viability. To facilitate industry partnerships, CycleWorks includes a collaboration platform to ensure input from across the plastics value chain.

Reinforced polymer materials are increasingly being used for structural applications because they allow manufacturers to replace traditional metal components with lighter-weight plastics. However, transitioning from metal to plastic requires thorough technical analysis and preparation. By factoring in static and dynamic data, the CAE simulations can identify where an injection molded plastic part may crack or break when exposed to real-world conditions such as physical loading force, sudden impact (crash simulation), or environmental factors like temperature and humidity.  

Among all the different types of plastics on the market today, why would anyone choose polyaryletherketones (PAEK), polysulfones (PSU), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), polyetherimides (PEI) and polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) for their application? While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C.
