Hearn, global marketing director, Specialty Engineered Materials at PolyOne. About PolyOne PolyOne Corporation, with 2017 revenues of $3.2 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions. Its core material, ElectriPlast®, is an electrically conductive resin-based material whose properties allow it to be molded into infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics and rubbers, while reducing component weight by 40 to 60%.

Sustainable solutions are expected to grow 8-12% per annum as consumers demand more eco-conscious materials Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

CLEVELAND – January 8, 2021 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today announced the launch of Zodiac™ Taurus™ non-PVC inks, the third offering in the Zodiac™ brand collection of eco-conscious screen-printing inks. NOTE: On July 1, 2020, PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatches joined together as Avient, a new kind of materials company focused on conquering customer challenges and unlocking the potential for innovation and sustainability around the globe. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Designers today increasingly value individuality over uniformity in markets such as cosmetics, electronics, appliances, and building materials.

Products can now be designed with TPEs that can help extend useful life by inhibiting microbial growth,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient, “and these newly formulated materials also deliver the performance synonymous with our GLS brand of TPEs.” About Avient Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), with 2020 pro forma revenues of $3.8 billion, provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.     Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Currently, the company is producing 800,000 housings annually using the specialty TPE material. The TPE grade surpassed the performance of the previous material and allowed the manufacturer to introduce a more efficient production process. Adding to the overall value of the solution, the TPE yields significantly less scrap than the previously used AES material.

For brand owners and OEMs to achieve this, they need materials free of surface blooms and ready to stand up to everyday wear and tear. In terms of material advantages, these Versaflex grades are proven to provide a superior combination of stain resistance and UV resistance compared to benchmark soft-touch overmolding materials. Non-blooming thermoplastic elastomer materials for premium surface finish, enhanced feel, and improved aesthetics
