Over the years his responsibilities at Verbunt Chemie included: Product Development, Quality Management, and Purchasing. EXPERIMENTAL Material Two classes of “universal overmolding TPEs” have been developed and used in this study.

Unfilled TPEs developed to deliver optical clarity for a wide variety of applications from pet toys to cap liners Unfilled, translucent TPE series developed for wide range of applications and offering good colorability Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially developed for the manufacture of co-extruded surface protective films

We bolstered our composites business with the acquisition of APM and divested our Distribution segment. This business is referred to as Avient Protective Materials “APM”. Management believes this provides better comparability of the performance of the combined businesses.

NEW Colorant Chromatics™ Metallic Effect Pre-Colored Sulfone Formulations: new pre-colored sulfone solutions with metallic effects, including gold, bronze, and silver, developed to emulate finishes that use metal without the weight and secondary processing but have the benefits of sulfone polymers, including ultra-high temperature and chemical resistance. Especially useful for consumer goods, aerospace, and healthcare, they support extended shelf life, multiple sterilizations, lower energy requirements, and lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, aligning with Avient’s commitment to developing sustainable solutions that can appear luxurious. RECENTLY LAUNCHED reSound™ REC AF 7210 TPEs: specifically developed for automotive interior applications, these new TPE grades from Avient contain 51-59% recycled content, with a minimum of 37% of that content from PCR sources, including closed-loop feedstock.

The 6-ply laminate is developed for this load, with two-thirds of the layers oriented in the 0-degree direction. By combining unidirectional composite tapes into multi-axial, multi-layered laminates at specified fiber volumes, CFRTP materials can be developed to provide customized mechanical properties to meet specific performance targets.
