Discover how a bespoke ColorWorks™ color-finding project helped gain the competitive edge in the ski boot market. Detailed conversations with the shops’ boot experts helped the researchers develop a thorough understanding of the needs of the different types of skiers, from the top-level experts to more accomplished (prepared) customers and finally the so called ‘Sunday skier.’

Avient helped one customer improve their protective masks to better satisfy global demands. With proper ingredient selection and processing, MagIQ Non-Woven Electret Additives helped the middle layer of these protective masks effectively trap particles as small as 0.3 microns.

In addition to ensuring that their intellectual property is used in a disciplined fashion on all products, some manufacturers are also using available brand protection technologies to help identify fakes, forgeries, copies and counterfeits. Recently developed brand protection technologies can help give manufacturers the edge they need to protect their products, reduce or eliminate false warranty costs and even expand into new geographic areas with confidence.

The design team reached out to long-term supplier Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers to help develop a customized solution. The lighter weight and stiffer walls of the redesigned tote helped the manufacturer to differentiate its product and gain market share.

With non-hazardous Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) Avient helped the customer achieve their sustainability targets through significant energy savings in production and finished part weight reduction. Using Hydrocerol with core-back molding technology, a process in which the mold is opened slightly to further reduce pressure and allow the foam core to expand, Avient helped the customer leverage density reduction to lower finished part weight.
