Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers, a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced quality, durability and aesthetics. Gripping feel = safety and usability for customers: Hand grips created from overmolded OnFlex-S TPE provide excellent anti-slip performance even when wet.

We leverage global processes and systems to create a positive candidate experience with opportunities for both entry level and experienced hires. By creating a common language we are ensuring that every individual at Avient has the tools to succeed today and in the future.

Cesa™ Stat temporary antistatic additives create a conductive network on polymer surfaces permitting dissipation of the electrical charges. Permanent antistatic additives, which function regardless of the relative humidity by creating an internal conductive network, are also available as custom masterbatches.

This creates a joint melting pool of both parts and a weld seam that strongly bonds the two plastic parts together. Our Cesa™ Laser Additives portfolio includes laser welding solutions that create high-quality, durable welds for various thermoplastics.

The business goal was to boost penetration in this market category by creating a new higher- performing mouse that offered added comfort and features aimed at an enhanced user experience. The manufacturer sought high-performance material solutions to create these features and significantly improve the computer user’s experience.

The goal of the collaboration was to create ballistic protection that is lightweight, portable, and can be constructed in hours rather than days. With our hardware fabrication capabilities and Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.” 1 https://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Missions/Military-Engineering/Deployable-Force-Protection-Demo/ To learn more about ballistic resistant solutions from Avient, visit avient.com or click to request a quote.
