Sheet metal restricts design flexibility, and different automotive OEMs request different attachment configurations for the part,” Spiess explained. What’s more, the polymer enabled HellermannTyton to switch from a two-step metal fabrication process to a one-step injection molding process, while Avient provided additional assistance with tool development, process optimization and testing.

Avient’s recent launch of its TÜV Rheinland-Certified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator is just one example of its commitment to sustainability. Colorant Chromatics™ is a market leader in coloring fluoropolymers and high-temperature polymers, with formulations that can provide robust material performance and ultra-high-heat resistance without compromising safety, extending the product shelf life in cables in demanding industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, telecommunication, and building and construction  

The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) is the only organization that supports the entire plastics supply chain, including Equipment Suppliers, Material Suppliers, Processors, and Recyclers, representing over one million workers in our $468 billion U.S. industry. PLASTICS advances the priorities of our members, who are dedicated to investing in technologies that improve capabilities and advances in recycling and sustainability and providing essential products that allow for the protection and safety of our lives.

Adding a comfortable grip to these products is one way to provide this kind of valuable differentiation in any competitive space. Consumer products that use a TPE grip have been used extensively to provide ergonomic benefits, particularly for usability and safety.

Culture of Safety To monitor progress against these goals, we track waste data from each site on a monthly basis. This is just one example of the work our teams are doing across Avient’s facilities to deliver on our annual waste goal of 3% reduction of waste to landfill intensity.
