CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced development of reSound™ NF reinforced materials, based on an eco-conscious, natural fiber-filled technology. Based on results from our collaboration with these customers, reSound NF reinforced solutions will enable the transition to a lighter weight material that provides the high performance required for challenging applications,” said Craig Nikrant, president, Global Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne. PolyOne Corporation, with 2014 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

No retooling was required, and the material met key targets for chemical and flame resistance. PolyOne is exhibiting Trilliant HC and other medical-grade materials in booth #2114 at MD&M Minneapolis. PolyOne Corporation, with 2017 revenues of $3.2 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

A leading supplier of advanced automotive technologies approached Avient to create a new olefinic material for an HVAC damper. In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material needed to resist warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts. In addition, the new material provides anti-static properties and low VOC levels, which helps the system adhere to regulations such as the Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standard.

Instead, the outer glass is recycled and the PVB is reclaimed and reprocessed for various uses, including an alternative raw material source for polymers. The materials are a result of close collaboration with Shark Solutions, a global leader in advanced sustainable polyvinyl butyral (PVB) products. This technology brings together advanced material science and innovation to support customers’ goals and the circular economy.

They also wanted to take advantage of advances in material science and manufacturing processes to create ammunition that was also conscious of the environment.  PolyCase needed a material with a specific density and uniformity, essential to making projectiles that would penetrate soft and intermediate barriers reliably, but that also offered a reduced risk of ricochet when hitting a hard target such as a hardened steel plate. After experimenting with competitive materials, PolyCase approached Avient with their challenge.
