For the year, SEM grew operating income 13%, as demand for our composites technologies continues to strengthen,” said Robert M. Patterson said, “As the COVID-19 vaccine brings hope for a recovery from the pandemic, we anticipate our businesses will continue to benefit from new product development requiring sustainable solutions as well as demand for consumer and healthcare applications. Examples include: • Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic • Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation • Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

There are two general primary types of styrenic block copolymer TPEs in the industry today: Injection molding of thin wall parts requires a low viscosity TPE. Extrusion, blown film production or blow molding requires high melt strength.

For applications requiring color or toning, SmartHeat RHC is also available as SmartHeat Tint, a range of recycle-friendly colors for preforms and bottles or SmartHeat Tone, toners suitable for use in rPET.

The sustainability concept of circularity has gained prominence, presenting both challenges and exciting opportunities for the composites industry. Let's explore some of the key means and outcomes of achieving circularity within the composites industry. Although there are existing models to guide us, achieving circularity requires collaboration across the entire value chain.

TPEs can be customized, depending on the application requirements, to provide surface feel ranging from grippy or tacky to smooth and silky. Many companies also employ TPEs to help meet the requirements of the US Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) for ergonomically designed tools. In another example, Brooks Sports chose a high-performance, customized TPE for a new running shoe cushioning technology.
