More Rethinking Materials for Automotive Aftermarket Parts Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics More Chemically Resistant Polymers for Next-Generation Devices Preventing environmental stress cracking in consumer and healthcare applications.

More recently, traditional wood and metal utility poles and cross arms are increasingly being replaced by polymer composites, typically made with glass reinforcements and produced using pultrusion or filament winding.

The impact-modified PA6 grade offers minimized scratch appearance compared to painted plastic and improves corrosion resistance when replacing painted metal parts.

Examples include: • Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint • Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility Avient employs approximately 8,700 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
