Avient Features Sustainable Polymer Colorants and Additives, Specialty Engineered Materials, and Services at Plastimagen 2023 Avient’s color and additives and specialty engineered materials teams look forward to highlighting their portfolio of sustainable polymer colorants

Traditional TPE types are made by combining a hard material with a soft material, either chemically or by a machine. Chemical Resistance by Material Type A benefit of this variability is that by combining multiple polymers in a formulation, the final chemical resistance may result in a blend of all those polymers’ properties.  

Homepage // News Center // Avient Introduces Polymer Solutions Platform for EV Charging Equipment This portfolio of EVSE polymer solutions includes colorants, additives, and specialty engineered materials that can improve the performance and aesthetics of Level 1, 2, and direct current (DC) electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.   This creates a need for materials and technologies that must meet critical performance standards in EVSE applications.
