Our exceptional polymer scientists and design engineers are integral to their product development process. It’s in this spirit that we joined legacy PolyOne and the Clariant Masterbatch business, two complementary businesses, and formed a new one that we’ve named Avient. As one, we are better positioned than ever before to lead and to make a positive difference.

Thus, one of the limitations for most of the existing TPE overmolding technology is that one needs to develop and use different TPE materials for different substrates. Novel TPE materials that can overmold onto various engineering plastics also were reported elsewhere (2-4).
