THE CHALLENGE A global business equipment manufacturer decided to develop a premium line of computer mouse products that offered improved ergonomics and soft-touch qualities.

The coloration and processing of recycled polymers can be challenging due to the quality difference between batches of recycled materials and the potential loss of mechanical stability.

Outplacement Programs Avient offers quality outplacement services to U.S. associates if they are impacted by workforce reductions. There have been zero product recalls associated with the quality of Avient products. You can trust that Avient materials meet the rigorous quality and safety management standards required across the globe

Customers count on us for on-time, high- quality products and services, and we proudly accept the challenge to deliver. You can trust that Avient materials meet the rigorous quality and safety management standards required across the globe. There have been zero product recalls associated with the quality of Avient products.

ISSUES WITH POST-CONSUMER RECYCLATES (PCR) Very often post-consumer recyclates (PCRs) are not of a good enough quality to withstand efficient processing, nor can they offer long-term stability for high-value or high-performance end applications.

An outstanding balance of conductivity, flow, dimensional stability and toughness results in high-quality parts and efficient processing.

Consistent Dk Quality – Dk values can be tested to verify consistency.

THE AVIENT OXYGEN SCAVENGER PRODUCT FAMILY APPLICATIONS Amosorb™ and Amosorb™ SolO2 can help assure product quality, consistency, and extended shelf life for a wide range of oxygen sensitive products including, but not limited to: beer, wine, fruit juices, nectars, teas, jar applications, UHT milk and dairy, sauces and condiments.

It increases polymer IV in the melt phase, allowing for: • Improved rPET quality and performance • Higher target IV’s • Reduced solid state polymerization time • Increased productivity It also aids in the drive towards the circular economy and helps Brand Owners achieve sustainability targets through: • Reduced carbon emissions • Increased rPET content PCR rPET resin with • Reduced SSP or oven time • Reduced yellowing PCR rPET resin with INCREASED TARGET IV ColorMatrix rePrize allows for increased target IV and increased strength of the rPET material, enabling a wider range of product applications including carbonated soft drinks (CSD).
