And because each panel is individually fabricated, laid up or molded, it can be difficult to ensure uniform quality. THE RESULT Faster throughput, a streamlined supply chain, and a consistently high level of quality. Working together, we can help optimize your marine manufacturing system to raise throughput, increase efficiency and achieve repeatable quality.

A few grams of a TPE material can often make a major difference in the perceived quality of an item. Grips made with TPEs not only deliver these qualities, but they also expand the design flexibility you need to add these marketable, value-added features to your products. Adding a soft-touch grip to a household product is a practical and cost-effective way for designers to create the sensory experience and perception of higher quality that consumers crave.

Consumers expect high quality products every time. By providing performance enhancements such as anti-block, anti-fog and anti-oxidant, Avient is ready to help customers improve processability and quality of packaging film and sheet.

These qualities make TPU a suitable material for use in demanding wire and cable applications such as industrial cables, drag chain or automation applications, consumer electronics, automotive cables, electrical vehicle charging cables, and more. Avient colorants for TPU applications are specifically designed to reach high quality standards.

INCREASED RECYCLE CONTENT Benefits of using rePrize include: • Increased product target IV • Improved melt flow consistency • Increased recycle content • Reduced brittleness • Reduced rejects and scrap • Improved low temperature performance rePrize can be combined with other liquid additives and can be used to optimize sheet manufacturing processes and product quality, whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle, contributing towards improved sustainability and reduced costs. This results in an increase in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity. rePrize is suited to applications in: • PET monolayer sheet • PET multilayered sheet • PET foamed sheet rePrize can be used to optimise sheet manufacturing processes and product quality, whilst allowing for increased levels of recycle, contributing towards improved sustainability and reduced costs PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GLOBAL REGULATORY APPROVALS PRODUCT FDA EU GB MERCOSUR rePrize • • • • 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
