Mitigate and Monitor – With the successful rollout and implementation of Avient’s new global process for monitoring and measuring our vendor’s performance some impacts to our vendor’s scoring were seen, including our key suppliers. ColorMatrix Europe Limited is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Avient Corporation, a U.S. publicly-traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange with global headquarters in Avon Lake, Ohio, United States. For 2022; 100% of our salaried associates completed the Code of Conduct training. 100% of new salaried staff completed the Code of Conduct as part of their on-boarding process   100% of hourly associates completed online Code of Conduct training.

Although polyketone is a relatively new class of polymer, it is growing in popularity as application engineers seek high-performing alternatives to nylons and POM amid supply constraints and sustainability goals. In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. As mentioned earlier, polyketone is relatively new and not yet as common as traditional engineered resins like nylons or acetal.

Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate. THE IMPACT For the manufacturer, Trilliant™ HC specialty engineered materials provided a number of advantages that contributed to the success of the new product line: • Reduced Cycle Time: The high flow properties of the Trilliant HC formulation allowed the manufacturer to produce warp-free parts that require less packing and cooling time, resulting in a 40% cycle time reduction

An award-winning group of highly experienced industrial designers, design engineers and prototyping technicians, Avient Design helps customers with all aspects of new product development, from concept to production. Due to the success of this project, the new, lighter heat sink made from Therma- Tech conductive thermoplastics has been rolled out across multiple vehicle models.

Manufacturers are always looking for new and striking color combinations and special effects for packaging. This new color and special effects option helps polymer packaging do just that.

A NEW PCR COLORATION TOOL Avient has developed a digital tool to help assess the impact of colored, recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials. It can also help shorten launch time for new product ranges, allowing fast and reliable checks prior to initiating sample development.
