The Solution Reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity is at the top of the engineering challenge list for any product, but it’s an especially difficult hurdle for vehicles. The final composite assembly is 17% lighter than the aluminum structure, while also upping the game on flexural stiffness and torsional rigidity.

These panels give each vehicle a unique look, while also minimizing damage and repair costs from encounters with shopping carts, car doors and other soft bumps. It is up to manufacturers to balance the cost efficiency of using more standardized parts versus consumer demands for greater variety in colors and design, all while providing drivers with a complete brand experience.

This trend continues growing as people seek additional accessories to support personal interests, aesthetic preferences, and vehicle function while maintaining value and performance for their pick-up trucks and SUVs. Met strength and corrosion requirements while achieving cost savings and reduced processing steps versus a die-cast aluminum part

While we have collected water data from our manufacturing facilities since 2012, increased water data accuracy allows us to better understand our water sources, withdrawal rates, and discharges. While the vast majority of Avient sites are in urban and suburban areas, we recognize the critical importance of biodiversity not only for ecological balance, but also within the context of sustainable business practices.

By addressing the challenges associated with increased rPET content, ColorMatrix AAnchor helps brands achieve their sustainability goals while delivering high-quality PET packaging."   ColorMatrix AAnchor also offers excellent bottle aesthetics and mechanical strength, ultimately potentially extending the shelf life of packaged products while helping control odor and minimize the risk of off-taste in bottle contents.

This reduction in curing temperature allows screen printers to maximize output while minimizing energy use and expenses.   Rio RFU Standard Colors allow screen printers to reduce energy use while maintaining the highest quality performance for their intricate designs.”  

While the automotive industry has responded well to reSound NF, which was introduced earlier this year, we have seen significant interest in these strong, lightweight solutions from manufacturers in consumer and other industries,” said Holger Kronimus, VP Europe and general manager, PolyOne Specialty Engineered Materials. The new color and extrusion options have been developed to offer non-automotive customers the flexibility and aesthetics they need while maintaining performance and ease of processing.”

These resins also maintain dimensional stability while providing chemical resistance against the effects of harsh cleaning agents. Healthcare providers want to surround their patients with a welcoming, friendly environment while maintaining the utmost in safety and product performance.

What is no longer essential is trimmed away, while a complex simplicity embraces humble elements and celebrates imperfection. Shiny, transparent, saturated hues are disrupted by a deep opaque tone, while a highly de-saturated lime provides balance to this complex palette. 

At Avient, we strive to conduct our business activities in a manner that is protective of health and the environment, while using a scientific and risk-based approach to chemical management. We are committed to producing safe products complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards while avoiding unnecessary animal testing.
