Material switch lowers costs, achieves higher flow versus previous TPV The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer saves $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Specialty Toners for PC Polycarbonate is used for the production of automotive interiors and appliances to consumer goods and electronics, replacing more traditional materials such as glass and acrylic. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS ColorMatrix Optica is formulated for PC resins used in the production of: • Automotive interiors • Appliance housings • Consumer goods • Food packaging • Finished materials such as PC sheet • Electrical & Electronics REGULATORY • No heavy metals or restricted ingredients • In-house chemical testing and verification system compliant with ISO ISO/IEC 17025:2005 • Dedicated product stewardship team globally and locally

These new materials also solve the long-standing problem of undesirable water absorption levels in other bio-derived polyamide materials available today. Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock. Our new Nymax BIO line of bio-based polyamide formulations exemplifies our continuous innovation in developing sustainable materials, and expands the material choices for design engineers while mitigating the risk of water absorption.” 

Avient will be featuring its portfolio of advanced composite materials and engineered fiber solutions at JEC World 2024.   Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products.

DBDPE is a commonly used flame retardant in plastic and rubber materials in many industries, including wire and cable. That’s why we used our material science expertise to create new options for our wire and cable customers,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Like other Syncure materials, the DBDPE-free formulations combine a polyethylene graft resin and flame-retardant catalyst to create a cross-linked solution for cable systems.

As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.” Avient’s portfolio of Gravi-Tech materials combine the aesthetics of metals with the superior processability of polypropylene (PP), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and other thermoplastic materials. These materials are currently manufactured in Asia and are available globally.
