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. The new products have been very well received by consumers, and have allowed the company to neutralize the competitive threat from all-plastic sprayers. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability.

SHANGHAI – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, will showcase its latest innovations at Chinaplas 2014, one of the world’s largest plastics industry exhibitions. Regarded as one of the most influential plastics exhibitions in the world, Chinaplas is held annually and has helped to accelerate the growth of plastics-intensive markets in Asia for the past 30 years.

Avient will highlight these colorants at its booth today for the start of Chinaplas 2024, the world’s leading plastics and rubber fair in Asia.   Avient will be exhibiting its broad portfolio of advanced technologies for the plastics industry, including its new OnColor durable orange nylon colorants for high-voltage EV connectors at Chinaplas 2024 from April 23-26, in Hall 8.2 Booth F31 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center of Hongqiao, Shanghai. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Fluoropolymers are a family of exceptional, high-performance materials that are widely used today – and for good reason, since they are stable plastics that resist degradation under harsh conditions and are inherently flame retardant. 2 Sina Ebnesajjad, “Introduction to Fluoropolymers,” Applied Plastics Engineering Handbook (Elsevier, 2011) pp 49-60.   3 The Fluoropolymers Division of the Society of the Plastics Industry, Guide to the Safe Handling of Fluoropolymer Resins–Fourth Edition (2005).

Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers integrates directly into plastic materials and migrates to the surface during molding to facilitate a smooth demolding experience. This process can help reduce cycle times and boost productivity by reducing demolding times and protecting the mold and the manufactured plastic parts while utilizing an alternative to PFAS-based additives. Limiting Damage: By acting as a lubricant, Evoluscend™ additive can help limit mold damage, supporting the longevity and quality of the mold and the plastic products

Mevopur nucleating agents help neutralize the effect colors can have on the mechanical properties of the finished plastic part to avoid warping and size variability. Plastic waste is a global problem, threatening our wildlife and habitats. Much of this waste comes from single-use plastic packaging, so would eliminating it solve the problem?

The quality of the laser plastic welding process hinges on how transmissive or absorptive the components are to laser energy. Compared with ultrasonic and vibration welding, plastic laser welding provides an array of benefits, such as unmatched production efficiency and consistent, high-quality results,” said Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.
