Resilience™ LS High Reflectance PVC performs on par with metallized plastics, such as polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and offers higher light reflectance without metallization.
Production costs are reduced by eliminating the vacuum metallization step.
PHOTO CAPTION: Resilience™ LS High Reflectance PVC, one of two new grades from PolyOne, offers higher light reflectance and other performance benefits than typical metalized PC

U.S. reporting companies that manufacture products (or have others manufacture products) that contain 3TG metals or their derivatives (tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold) that are necessary to product functionality or production are required to assess their supply chains and report to the SEC on whether those materials are sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries.
This includes annually conducting a reasonable due diligence inquiry of our suppliers into the source and conflict status of any 3TG metals contained in Avient products that are within the scope of the Act.
We require our suppliers to also engage in due diligence of their supply chains and to annually certify the origin and conflict status of the 3TG metals they supply to Avient. 10.8.20
