Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

Over time, individual polymer chains can rotate, slide, and align in response to the applied stress, leaving behind micro-voids of previously occupied space. When a chemical stress cracking agent diffuses into a polymer network it can increase the chain mobility and free volume of the system. Schematic representation of creep mechanism; chain alignment and void formation in response to applied stress. 3© 2021 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 There are several key factors which can influence the timeline to ESC failure: 1.

FIBER + RESIN = COMPOSITE Carbon fiber is formed by bonding carbon atoms together to form a long chain.

Reliable JIT supply chain: The Versalloy material needed by the customer was reliably supplied by Avient in just three weeks instead of the six week lead time offered by the competitive TPV material supplier.

They are high-molecular-weight additives and as such are conductive along their full molecular chains.

Planning now for transitions will help avoid supply chain disruptions in the future.

Avient’s Global Trade and EH&S departments share responsibility for supply chain security. Avient recognizes that given our location in the supply chain we are well positioned to enable sustainability along the value chain, through innovation at the early to mid-stages of the product life cycle. The Microfibre Consortium (TMC) The Microfibre Consortium (TMC) facilitates the development of practical solutions for the textile industry to minimize fiber fragmentation and release to the environment from textile manufacturing and product life cycle.

Enhancing polymer materials with colorants can: • Differentiate products • Reinforce branding • Evoke emotions • Add value to a commodity item • Promote safety Creative and effective use of polymer colorants, which come in liquid and solid forms, can have an impact all along the value chain.

By evaluating supplier engagement and recognizing best practice, CDP aims to accelerate global action on supply chain emissions.
