Processability of this new solution is the same as existing Versaflex PF formulations, so current users will not need to modify their equipment or processes. 

Avient Polymer Distribution: Featuring a comprehensive portfolio of polymers from the world’s top suppliers, this business unit helps manufacturers to streamline product development including design, material selection, manufacturing processes, and supply chain optimization with local support.  They provide customers with engineering support and design for manufacturability insights to simplify processes, accelerate time to market, and gain market share.

This eliminates the need for time consuming and labor-intensive secondary surface preparation such as grinding or abrading, while offering superior adhesion compared to these typical processes. We’re excited to offer this solution to customers in markets such as energy, infrastructure, electrical and transportation that will benefit from reduced overall system costs and greatly simplified manufacturing processes.”

Our 3D/LDS technology responds to the growing needs of the market, offering fewer process steps, shorter assembly times, and a cost-efficient profile.”  The new Edgetek formulations also can help electronic component manufacturers to miniaturize mechanical and electrical (also known as mechatronics) systems, even in high heat manufacturing processes, such as SMT (surface mount technology).

The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process is collaborative across Avient’s business and functions in order to identify Avient’s risks. Sustainability-related risks are included and evaluated as part of the ERM process.

GLS recommended a Versalloy™ thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) alloy for excellent surface quality, easy processing with excellent flow, and high tear strength. PTA was pleased with the moldability and processing ease of the Versalloy TPV, which delivers a high-quality surface finish and resists striations that can occur with other elastomers.

These include the energy required for recycling, environmental impacts, carbon emissions, the value of the next life of the material, its longevity, and the economics of the entire process. Embracing advanced recycling techniques, optimizing manufacturing processes, and engaging stakeholders across the supply chain are crucial steps on this journey.

Trained, local ‘refractionists’, assist in this process, and it takes approximately 15 minutes to deliver prescription glasses for less than $5 per pair. Avient’s design team assisted with the design, process analysis and production of the injection-molded plastic USee™ device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.
