Using Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 TPE helps brands avoid the sourcing and manufacturing issues of silicone, and it is the only thermoplastic material that stands up to blue jean staining when used in white and light-colored phone cases. To test the effectiveness of its materials, PolyOne used the same rigorous test methodology used to measure blue jean staining on automotive car seats. Caption: Comparison tests using the same methodology that measures blue jean staining on car seats show how new Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 performs versus silicone and TPU.

These solutions help enable customers to achieve their sustainability goals by increasing the use of post customer recycled (PCR) and post industrial recycled (PIR) content, enabling recyclability, increasing adoption of biopolymers and minimizing plastic waste. Our annual goal of reducing waste to landfill intensity by 3%, as well as annual incentives, are designed to encourage facilities to eliminate waste generation and identify beneficial uses for their remaining waste streams. We have been working with internal and external stakeholders to understand how we can achieve our goal to become carbon neutral in line with climate science. 

I am extremely proud of how well we executed against the backdrop of the aforementioned challenges. No one knows for certain how long the recent economic challenges will last. Seasonality Sales of our products and services are typically seasonal, as demand has historically been slower in the third and fourth calendar quarters of the year. 3 AVIENT CORPORATION Working Capital Practices Our products are generally manufactured with a short turnaround time, and the scheduling of manufacturing activities from customer orders generally includes enough lead time to assure delivery of an adequate supply of raw materials.

Discover the advantages of using engineered polymers in EV battery applications. While most batteries are traditionally metal-based, there are significant advantages to using polymers (plastics) instead, especially with recent advancements in polymer science that make using these materials in electric vehicle batteries possible. So, how can engineered polymers enhance EV battery design and performance?
