Easy to transport, handle and store, this packaging system improves material handling safety while still efficiently delivering the high quality colorant stored within it.

Colorants can meet brand standards, UV packages can offer additional protection for applications with high UV exposure, lubricants can minimize wear and tear, flame retardants can provide flame, smoke, and/or toxicity compliance, and additional durability can ensure your products perform in extreme climates (hot or cold).

We manufacture specialty long fiber composite pellets using a proprietary pultrusion process that melt impregnates continuous carbon, glass or other specialty fibers with thermoplastic polymer matrices ranging from polypropylene (PP) to PEEK to achieve high performance. 

Conducting an annual Enterprise Risk Management review All of our suppliers must sign our Supplier Code of Conduct. In all of its activities, Avient puts high emphasis on environmental protection and safety.

Notable new product advancements include ColorMatrix™ liquid fiber colorants that improve production efficiency and speed to market for textile applications, WithStand™ antimicrobial additives that help prevent surface bacteria, and Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymers that elevate the texture, feel and aesthetics of luxury packaging.

THE SOLUTION Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique, high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals. High performance = customer satisfaction: The PolyChek valve gives API’s customers the ability to create all-plastic piping systems that eliminate leakage and weak spots Elimination of lead = increased safety and compliance: Replacing brass with Gravi-Tech high-density formulations eliminates health and safety concerns about lead

In the electronics industry, plastic enclosures and connectors not only enhance safety through electrical insulation, but thermally and electrically conductive plastics provide heat transferring, cooling, antistatic, electrostatic discharge, and electromagnetic shielding performance for critical applications including integrated circuit chip packaging. Our operations could be adversely affected by various risks inherent in conducting operations worldwide. We depend on integrated information systems to conduct our business.
