They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength. The Impact Finding ways to reduce weight is a high priority for vehicle manufacturers, because lighter weight corresponds to better fuel efficiency for gas-powered vehicles and more miles per charge for electric cars.

Impactful Color: TPEs can be customized with bright colors and special effects such as glimmers, sparkles and pearlescents, as well as shine levels such as eye-catching high gloss, which conveys a high-tech, high-fashion aesthetic. Adding a soft-touch grip to a household product is a practical and cost-effective way for designers to create the sensory experience and perception of high quality that consumers crave.

The impact can be even greater if the blow molder can measure compressor energy savings. If determined by the brand, the blow molder must be aware that process aids are in the preform because of the dramatic impact this can have on the blow molding process. This leads to a cleaner recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) stream, which is critical for creating high-quality recycled materials.

Beyond these, one clear impact of the pandemic has been on the packaging industry, where vastly increased e-commerce and the focus on hygiene has shown, for example, PET bottles and containers to be an ideal solution to shifting consumer and regulatory trends.   This comes as the German Bundestag has passed an amendment to the country’s 2019 Packaging Act, aimed at both avoiding, and recycling, packaging waste to reduce its impact on the environment, a move that will make PET packaging even more sustainable. This high-tech facility is helping us to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process to see how and where problems occur.

In 2018 the group led numerous leadership development training sessions, covering topics such as unconscious bias, building trust and impactful communication. We also launched HYPE (Harnessing Young Professional Energy) in 2018, which is building a collaborative network of Avient’s young professionals, eager to innovate and impact our customers with the support of cross-generational expertise.
