New continuous reinforced thermoplastic composite capability establishes PolyOne at the forefront of "next generation" composite solutions The second acquired business, Polystrand, operates on the leading edge of continuous reinforced thermoplastic composite technology, a next generation material science that delivers the high strength and lightweight characteristics of composites, further enhanced with the design flexibility to form more complex shapes. as a leading innovator and producer of continuous reinforced thermoplastic composite technology. 

SHANGHAI – September 25, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a leading provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, will exhibit its extensive portfolio of medical-grade materials and solutions for healthcare applications at Medtec China 2024, including the announcement of newly expanded manufacturing for its NEU™ Custom Capabilities and NEUSoft™ Thermoplastics Polyurethane (TPU) solution for catheter applications in China. Avient’s portfolio of colorants and additives, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and specialty engineered polymers helps customers meet performance demands, comply with medical and pharmaceutical regulations, and accelerate speed to market. Newly Expanded Manufacturing of NEU™ Custom Capabilities and NEUSoft™ Thermoplastics Polyurethanes for catheter applications: now produced in Suzhou, China, offering customized services and rapid response times to customers from Asia Pacific, a series of ultra-soft TPUs for short-term in-vivo applications that are available in custom colors with excellent ultraviolet (UV) stability and barrier properties, offer good elasticity, resistance to abrasions and tears, barrier properties, and melt strength for use in a host of catheter applications, including cardiovascular, intravenous, and other specialty segments .

With its advanced thermoplastic composites, OEMs are successfully incorporating our thermoplastic composite technology and gaining value from our design expertise at every step of the product development cycle," said Advanced Composites portfolio offers both thermoplastic and thermoset composite solutions with exceptional strength-to-weight ratios.

In line with the continuing drive towards greater sustainability and circularity in the industry, we will demonstrate our latest advances in materials science at Chinaplas, from specialty colorants and color prediction to bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and engineered materials,” says Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Color & Additives Asia for Avient. reSound™ BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs): formulated with 35 to 75 percent bio-renewable feedstock without compromising property retention, adhesion strength in overmolding applications, or colorability. Versaflex™ CE 3130 Series TPEs: a range of non-blooming thermoplastic elastomers for demanding consumer electronics, automotive, and appliance applications requiring premium surface finish, enhanced feel, and improved aesthetics with UV, stain, abrasion, and scratch resistance.

The initiative, sponsored by Avient Design, a highly specialized group of industrial designers and project engineers at Avient Corporation, began in September 2024, focusing on mentoring students in designing with Avient’s Polystrand™ thermoplastic composite materials, leading to the development of a range of innovative and practical product concepts. The six-week project is aimed to harness the distinctive properties of Avient’s Polystrand thermoplastic composites, including their strength, durability, and lightweight characteristics, to create cutting-edge designs for the sporting goods industry. The final presentations showcased a diverse array of innovative product concepts that effectively leveraged the properties of Polystrand continuous glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.
