THE SOLUTION Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team again turned to Avient for its unparalleled portfolio of materials, ranging from specialty polymers to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

Based on the requirements provided, we recommended Geon™ M5705, a high flow vinyl molding material for outdoor use.

Army Corps Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Survivability Engineering Branch enlisted the expertise of Edwards Design and Fabrication, an Alabama-based equipment fabricator for commercial and government research and development organizations.

Processors are looking to replace current process additives containing PFAS with non-PFAS fluorine-free solutions that exhibit performance characteristics similar to traditional fluoropolymer- based solutions.

As a United States based company with global business operations, Avient is committed to observing the standards of conduct set forth in the U.S. Quality Restrictions—Agreements with competitors to limit competition based on product quality You can be convicted based on appearances—what the prosecutor or a jury thinks you did—even if you are innocent.

Next, based on the most prominent postures, simulate the use case to record all measurable forces the user will experience in each. Based on the magnitude of the force values and vectors (directions), a power grip is determined to be optimal for the given task. For instance, bio-polymers are based entirely or partially on renewable sources such as sugarcane, and may perform at a level comparable to conventional polymers.

Seller has based any recommendations to Buyer for the use of the Product upon information supplied by Buyer which Seller assumes to be reliable, but Seller makes no warranty of the results Buyer might obtain in any particular application for the Product. Buyer must give Seller written notice of the existence of each claim involving the Product (whether based in contract, breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability, other tort or otherwise) as soon as possible, however not later than within ten (10) days after receipt of the quantity of the Product forming the basis for the claim; a failure by Buyer to give such written notice within the applicable time constraint will constitute an absolute and unconditional waiver of all such claims irrespective of whether Buyer has discovered the facts giving rise to such claim, or whether further processing, manufacture, other use or resale of such Product has actually occurred.
