It is the responsibility of the finished article manufacturer to ensure that all relevant requirements are met.

We come alongside our customers to navigate product development, identify proper materials, enhance product performance, improve sustainability, optimize manufacturing, and more.

Are you an automotive manufacturer or molder considering metal-to-plastic conversion to reduce part weight? Thermally conductive plastics help dissipate the heat, adding life to the fixture while offering additional design and manufacturing benefits. Avient offers expertise in formulations, engineering services, and global technical and manufacturing support to address your unique challenges.

Polystrand™ Thermoplastic Composite Panels provided custom-formulated panels with UV stable laminates and improved the efficiency of the manufacturing process for OEM Wall and Floor Panels for Adventure Camper Manufacturer Sync design with manufacturability: Learn about how Avient Design can help simplify your new product development process

highlighting its growing portfolio of technologies tailored to meet the distinct needs and regulatory challenges of healthcare manufacturers. Manufactured without intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-based or fluorinated raw materials, they offer a more sustainable solution developed with evolving regulatory requirements in mind. As with other NEUSoft products, which recently extended manufacturing to China, they provide excellent flexibility, clarity, and durability for a wide range of catheters and in-vivo applications.

Historically, metal has been used to manufacture parts such as running boards, side steps, bed extenders, and mounting kits (levers, brackets). Each case study summary defines the application requirements and explains how Avient supported the aftermarket part manufacturers through material technologies and expertise in computer-aided engineering (CAE) modeling simulations to validate the design and performance of two aftermarket structural parts.

If you are manufacturing plastics, you know there can be potential challenges in getting the colorants you need. There are certain manufacturing limitations that prevent the use of some special effects, select resin types, or specific high color tolerances.

The judicious use of color masterbatch, additives to provide texture to a part, and other color and additive formulations enable manufacturers to realize innovative color matching even as they incorporate new materials into the mix. Should this design trend become manufacturing reality, it will place greater demands on the use of color to harmonize these highly visible textile surfaces with the surrounding polymer parts. 

At the same time, manufacturers also need to consider product safety and regulatory compliance. Cesa™ Laser Additives allow manufacturers to optimize the use of laser technology to create markings or assemble plastic parts.
