Specially developed for polystyrene and polypropylene PCR plates, these white and black formulations help maintain optimized signal transmission and minimize crosstalk that could lead to faulty results in quantitative fluorescence testing. Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions — to help reduce carbon footprint, this range of color and additive concentrates are formulated with bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and styrenic polymers, offering significant carbon footprint reductions of 70% to 120% compared to their fossil-fuel-based counterparts, and manufactured under the same quality management system as other Mevopur products, they are drop-in solutions that can be used like their fossil-fuel-based counterparts in the injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

In Europe, new patent-pending grades are formulated using recovered materials such as recycled polypropylene, recycled oil, and recycled glass filler. Suitable for overmolding onto polypropylene (PP), the new TPEs have comparable performance to prime grades, and can replace them in typical applications for lawn and garden, outdoor high performance, personal care, footwear, office supplies, houseware durables, and automotive industries.      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

Our polymer portfolio features corrosion-resistant PVC, CPVC and glass-filled vinyl composites that will more than meet your needs.  Unlock Modular Construction Potential with Flame Retardant (FR) Composite Panels Learn why Hammerhead™ FR Composite Panels are an excellent choice for modular construction. More Change the Way You Dye Textiles Change the way you dye fibers with a technology that uses no water and less energy than the classic bath-dyeing technology.

Glass Transition Temperature: Glass transition temperature is the point at which an amorphous polymer becomes hard and brittle. However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC). The metal used for FFF dies depends on the polymer: unfilled materials can use softer brass dies, while fiber-reinforced materials need harder steel to prevent premature wear.

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Launches New ECCOH™ LSFOH Grades for Optical Fiber Cables POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – June 18, 2020 – PolyOne today launched new specialized polymer grades with enhanced chemical resistance and improved productivity for optical fiber cables (OFC). Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

The proprietary, multi-layer carbon fiber and ceramic composite technology applies the concept of thermal inertia to expedite heat transfer from the barrel bore to improve overall performance. The ceramic and carbon fiber composite layers are applied in a proprietary process, and finished barrels are returned to the firearms manufacturer for incorporation into the final product. Firearms manufacturer- supplied steel bore Low thermal inertia ceramic inner layer Customized carbon fiber composite sleeve

Examples include: • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient employs approximately 9,300 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
