These new materials are formulated to improve design, performance and processing capabilities versus traditional silicone, thermoplastic urethane (TPU), or thermoplastic vulcanizates.   These materials also expand design possibilities while streamlining the manufacturing process for lower production cost.

Polymer Distribution: Leveraging a comprehensive portfolio of polymers, colorants, and additives, our knowledgeable professionals help streamline product design, material selection, manufacturing processes, and supply chain efforts through local support and global availability Vibration Damping Technologies: Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomers reduce appliance vibration and ‘walking’ when used in anti-vibration feet for top load washing machines, and can be overmolded to help eliminate secondary processes and reduce cycle time

Trained local ‘refractionists’ assist in the process. Our group of experienced industrial designers and project engineers combine design, polymer science and manufacturing expertise to streamline customers’ product development process and sharpen their competitive edge.

PolyOne’s exhibit features a thermoplastic composite “exploration station” where attendees can interact and see the unique performance characteristics and processing versatility of CFRTP composites. Caption: PolyOne invites product designers and engineers to collaborate on material development, product design, processing, and testing in their thermoplastic composite innovation cell in Englewood, CO.

With our complete range of wire and cable solutions for applications in telecommunications, electronics, and transportation, Avient can help consistently meet product specification challenges and add value through ease of processing, product performance, and cost-saving,” said Say-Eng Lee, vice president and general manager, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.   These engineered fibers are designed to provide water-blocking capability in dry design fiber optic cable applications, developed for optimal grip and insulation performance in cable jacketing and armor, and processed to help extend the life span for oil and gas pipe and industrial belts.    

From the beginning to the end of the design process, we aim to help our customers streamline application development, improve speed to market, and have increased confidence in the performance of reinforced polymer materials in structural applications,” said Amit Kulkarni, global director of technology, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. This enables customers to replace metal with plastic and take advantage of benefits like sustainability through lightweighting, design freedom, and easier processing.”  

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 15, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, today announced the extension of its reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) portfolio with new, globally produced, GP 7820 grades for the Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, held today through October 19, 2024. Avient will be showcasing these new materials at Fakuma, the world’s leading trade fair for plastic processing, in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from October 15-19, 2024.

NIAS may be unintentionally introduced into food contact materials at any point during the manufacturing, processing, or storing stages and can originate from various sources. Typical sources are impurities in raw materials, reaction by-products, contaminants from processing equipment, or degradation products.
