In addition, the recycled polyester needs to be suitable for spinning. They are added during polymer processing in the spin-dyeing process, thus eliminating the need for additional extrusion or polycondensation steps.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) for Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Packaging As the need to integrate sustainability in the design of healthcare products is growing, manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging are looking for materials with a more environmentally-friendly profile. Avient is committed to the needs of our healthcare customers.

This, in turn, creates issues for convertors and brands who need to achieve consistent product quality across product lines, regions and markets. Convertors and brand owners need to make educated choices for their recycled materials based on formulation expertise and data science to help achieve a consistent packaging product.

It also needed to allow soldiers to quickly deploy and establish positions of relative safety—even in remote locations. It’s portable enough to be airlifted into remote sites and provides quick protection for troops with no additional equipment support needed.

You need to offer molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) that will not fail over the duration of their service lives. HOW PHASE BARRIERS MADE OF AVIENT TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE FOR MOLDED CASE CIRCUIT BREAKERS Will not fail over the MCCB’s expected service life – Avient materials are flexible, have low moisture absorption, and have the needed dielectric integrity, leading to a more reliable phase barrier.

To support these device needs, Avient developed the NEUSoft™ Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPUs) product line for in-vivo applications in standard and customizable grades. Our formulation experts can also work with your design team to tailor a product that meets your specific color and performance needs.

These concentrates contain a very high pigment load, allowing low addition rates (one percent or lower) and reduce color variation from one resin type to another.

Automotive lighting applications typically require high diffusion plus a high transmission rate.

These technologies enable lower colorant use rates while achieving the same quality as higher let down ratios and traditional masterbatches.
