Avient engineers also formulated the reinforced polyurethane to chemically bond seamlessly with the urethane used for the outer rolling surface of the wheel.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • High-temperature performance • Excellent impact resistance • Decreased moisture absorption compared to PA66 • Heat stabilized for long-term thermal aging • Enhanced chemical resistance • Customizable formulations in filled and unfilled grades MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The combined performance characteristics make Edgetek Toughened PPA ideal for a range of rigid engine applications.

High-quality conductive pipette tips must meet a number of demanding performance criteria, including: • Accurate measurement of minute quantities of liquid • Hydrophobic properties to minimize fluid retention • Concentric dimensions and warp resistance • Excellent chemical resistance The manufacturer asked Avient for a specialized solution to meet these exacting needs in a timely and efficient manner so they could capitalize on its market opportunity THE SOLUTION Avient’s sales and technical professionals worked closely with the manufacturer to understand the demanding requirements of the end-use application, manufacturing considerations and cost.

FOAMING PREDICITION SERVICE Avient Design uses Autodesk® Moldflow® simulation software1 to provide 3D simulations of parts foamed with Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents during the mold filling phase.

MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS ColorMatrix Optica is formulated for PC resins used in the production of: • Automotive interiors • Appliance housings • Consumer goods • Food packaging • Finished materials such as PC sheet • Electrical & Electronics REGULATORY • No heavy metals or restricted ingredients • In-house chemical testing and verification system compliant with ISO ISO/IEC 17025:2005 • Dedicated product stewardship team globally and locally

The new Edgetek™ PKE and LubriOne™ PKE series combine excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance to meet the challenges of harsh applications, such as those found in chemical, fuel contact, or high- moisture environments. The scavenger in the closure can be separated from the PET during recycling and closures are 100% compatible with the closure recycle stream. In addition, the additive is compatible with many different rPET grades to help brand owners achieve their sustainability targets.

To validate the switch, Avient’s solution needed to provide excellent chemical resistance to corrosive substances during use, withstand frequent sanitation procedures for long-term durability, and lower overall costs for Bettcher.

These formulations provide excellent chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, excellent dimensional stability, and high impact and wear resistance.
