These can be used across a broad range of industries and applications, from protective clothing and workwear to synthetic ropes to wires and cables, helping reduce weight and material consumption while enhancing performance.   Avient is exhibiting in hall 9.1, booth A60, at Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, from April 23 – 26, 2024.  

The part – sourced from a sub-supplier – required secondary work by Mars Otomotiv, including removal of flash, drilling holes and surface treatment to prevent corrosion. Today, Mars Otomotiv benefits from the simplified logistics of molding polymer heat sinks in-house – including reduced order lead time, improved on-time order completion and more free-working capital. 

For starters, the insert was made from thermoset silicone rubber – a tried-and-true material that requires a slow-and-costly manufacturing process. The manufacturer needed an overhaul for the part – from a completely new base material to a more efficient manufacturing process.

One way clothing and footwear producers are working to address these priorities is by using more recycled raw materials, such as recycled polyester from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, within their synthetic fibers. Companies wishing to switch from bath-dyeing to spin-dyeing can rely on this expertise and our global footprint to make the switch as easy and efficient as possible. 

While we have collected water data from our manufacturing facilities since 2012, increased water data accuracy allows us to better understand our water sources, withdrawal rates, and discharges. In line with our commitment to conserve biodiversity, Avient has developed a biodiversity risk assessment framework that draws upon data from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Biodiversity Risk Filter.

Protect your wire and cable or other products from rats, or termites with these low-concern masterbatches. As a substitute for metallic armor, glass roving or special engineering polymers such as PA12, which are often adopted to protect cables from hostile animals, anti-termite and anti-rat additive concentrates provide a cost-effective alternative to other methods.

We have press sizes ranging from 50 to 550 ton and are proud of our agility for in-house formulation modification, should it be needed.   See your molded application from the inside out to gain confidence and visually see the strength of our composites. 

Here are some of the benefits that can result from pursuing their use: Among them are CORE™ Bio-based Vinyl Plastisols formulated with at least 25% bio content derived from renewable natural resources.

As PET undergoes multiple remelting cycles, it can break down, suffering from thermal degradation, and resulting in a material of lower quality than its virgin counterpart. This degradation can impact the processability, quality, and food safety of packaging made from rPET.

From research and development to commercial platforms, we provide solutions for a host of catheter applications, including cardiovascular, intravenous, neurological and specialty segments. Our custom formulations draw from a variety of base resins, additives and colors to achieve performance attributes that solve your most complex material problems.
