From aesthetic features, such as the shade of the dashboard, to technology components such as the interactive GPS screen, we offer materials that create a comfortable, safe and reliable experience for drivers. Onflex™ Lo TPE helped the same customer replace traditional PU foaming materials for HVAC sealing components, which greatly improved the VOC levels to meet local vehicle interior air quality standards.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a need for greater numbers of personal protective equipment like face masks more than ever before, which resulted in a global shortage that stood at unprecedented levels. N95 masks, for example, rely on multi-layer construction, with a middle layer made from melt-blown non-woven material.

In 2016, Avient - which, at the time, was operating as PolyOne - announced development of a lightweight, carbon fiber-reinforced underbody brace, which is offered as a performance upgrade for the C7 generation of General Motors’ popular Chevrolet Corvette sports car.  The Corvette Z06 won the 2015 Car and Driver Lightning Lap with the fastest speed, which also ranked as the second fastest lap time in the history of the event.                                             Image ©PolyOne Caption: Advanced composite underbody braces from PolyOne are available as a performance upgrade for all C7 Corvettes.

up from its prior estimate of I want to highlight our Specialty Engineered Materials segment which is overcoming continued weakness in They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The new reSound BIO 2800 and 7900 series range in durometer from 30-70 Shore A and offer comparable performance, look, feel, and smell to traditional petroleum-based TPEs. reSound BIO formulations are a part of Avient’s broader reSound TPE portfolio, which includes both recycled-content and bio-based formulations. 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

As a design engineer at a phone case company, you need to stand out from your competitors and capture consumers’ attention. Not only do your cases need to protect expensive mobile phones from breakage, scratches, or water damage, they also must showcase style and personality. In this eBook, we highlight design trends, materials, and processing – insights to help you create new models which sparkle with a winning combination of structural performance and aesthetic pleasure.

Other highlights from Avient at the show include: Avient is exhibiting at Wire Düsseldorf 2024 from April 15-19 in hall 9, booth B50, at the Messe Düsseldorf trade fair ground in Germany.   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  

We’ve long been known as the ‘world’s strongest fiber™,’ but that won’t stop us from finding new opportunities to get stronger. Beyond strength, Dyneema® SB301 has the additional advantage of being made from bio-based Dyneema® fiber, which enables a carbon footprint up to 90% lower than generic high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fiber. Security isn’t just about protection from immediate threats; defending the planet for future generations is an equally important mission,” continued van de Kamp.
