CLEVELAND – December 12, 2022 – Avient Corporation today announced an expansion to its range of polyketone (PK) based materials with new Complēt™ PKE long fiber reinforced engineered thermoplastics. Joining Edgetek™ PKE and LubriOne™ PKE materials launched in 2021, Complēt PKE formulations can provide alternatives to nylon (PA) and acetal (POM) based formulations, offering added supply security and sustainable benefits.  

CLEVELAND – PolyOne Corporation today announced the launch of SynPrime™ Lubricant Esters, a family of synthetic base oils and additives featuring customizable diverse chemistries for automotive, aviation and industrial lubricant applications. The initial launch of PolyOne’s SynPrime Lubricant Ester product line includes eight different base chemistries.

Based on consumer research and design trends, this collection will help automotive engineers and designers increase creativity in color development. One of the first developments is based on the Divergent Desires trend, which explores the convergence of technology and nature in unexpected and often ironic ways that reconcile the differences.

Based on expertise in reducing weight and improving portability of mast structures and antennas for the military, Rolatube engineers realized the legs of the tripod could be designed to roll into a compact and portable coil, eliminating the complexity and added weight of telescopic hardware. The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.

If you’re considering bio-based plastics for the products in your portfolio, but are concerned about maintaining high product quality standards, we have the solution. These technologies are available to improve the performance of a wide range of bio-based resins including, but not limited to: 

It accomplishes this by bringing incompatible polymers – such as PP and PE – together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification. Watch to learn how Cesa™ Unify™ A4R helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification.
