Through their close work with amputees from all five activity levels of the MFCL system, the team at WillowWood recognized that prosthetic options were limited for K2 amputees who are able to handle more uneven surfaces. THE SOLUTION Leveraging decades of experience creating customized composite materials for archery bow limbs and other high-performance applications, the engineers at Avient worked closely with WillowWood’s special products team to identify a solution.

Avient and Southern States worked together to develop a modular design using GlasArmor ballistic panels. We have worked closely with Avient for years and are ready to help other utilities as they seek to improve their security infrastructure.”

THE CHALLENGE Elausa Electronics specializes in the design and manufacture of electronic components for industrial and automotive industries, working in close collaboration with many automotive OEMs and Tier 1 companies for electronics and lighting applications. THE SOLUTION Avient worked with Elausa to develop a thermoplastic solution to suit their requirements and Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Formulations were chosen as a potential fit.

Foaming parts is a well-established technology used to successfully reduce part weight, supporting OEMs to reduce fuel consumption and work towards achieving their sustainability goals. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

THE SOLUTION Avient proactively worked with Piranha to develop the next generation propeller. THE IMPACT The main objective of this development work was to provide an alternative to one-piece solid aluminum and stainless-steel props while enabling similar performance.

APPLICATIONS • Clothing and apparel, to avoid odors caused by sweat-induced bacteria proliferation • Household furnishings and carpeting, to protect these products from microbial growth that can cause stains and odor • Home textiles and rugs, to prevent mildew • Automotive and public transportation upholstery and carpeting, to extend service life HOW IT WORKS Avient offers two major types of antimicrobials for fibers: organic and inorganic.
