Explore how replacing metal with vinyl materials can shine a light on value.  This paper covers general aspects of overmolding technology and TPEs as a class of materials that offer engineered solutions for this evergreen trend. Enhance content protection without compromising design flexibility, production efficiency or recyclability

What we do: Materials Science In 2022, we expanded our materials offering with the acquisition of the protective materials business of DSM, including the Dyneema® brand, the World’s Strongest Fiber™. Our offerings include specialty engineered materials, performance fibers, advanced composites, and color and additive systems.

A new eBook from Avient titled, “Smarter Materials™: High-Performance Thermoplastics” can help answer these questions and be a valuable resource for anyone considering the use of these advanced materials, which are ideally suited for very demanding environments.  As in conventional molding, these materials have specific requirements for success in manufacturing. These materials can enable OEMs and molders to meet tougher requirements and create next-gen products.

Together, the PolyOne team worked on industrial design, ergonomics, manufacturability, and material selection for the device, together with White and toolmaker/molder Alpha Tool and Mold, a longtime PolyOne customer. Through our design expertise, deep material science resources, and the energy and passion of our associates, PolyOne is well placed to help organizations such as GV2020 achieve their goals and make the world a better place to live.” PolyOne Corporation, with 2018 revenues of $3.5 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

The result is a unique package of inspirational materials to help plastic product designers and marketing professionals make more informed color choices for new products and packaging. Avient offers ColorForward seminars at its four ColorWorks design and technology centers around the world, as well as at selected conferences and customer sites. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

This tone allows the materials to showcase a natural aesthetic or be colored to match design specifications with traditional TPE colorants or sustainable color options from Avient. These customizable and easy-to-color materials provide customers a way to incorporate more sustainability into their designs, appeal to eco-conscious consumers, and still meet critical functional requirements.” Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

This creates a need for materials and technologies that must meet critical performance standards in EVSE applications. We have established a comprehensive set of material solutions that will help boost both the design, function, and appeal of these charging units.”   Avient materials can address key EVSE performance, function, and design areas including outdoor durability, impact resistance, thermal management, and fire safety.

While conventional air emissions are a critical and a highly influential topic in some industrial sectors, as a materials solutions company utilizing purchased materials, Avient’s conventional air emission levels from legacy operations are de minimis and not material.
