These solutions are made with bio-derived polymers, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and styrenics, with bio-derived content ranging from 70% to 100%. The ISCC PLUS certification is another milestone in our commitment to supporting healthcare product manufacturers and brand owners in achieving their sustainability targets. The ISCC PLUS certification is a voluntary system applicable to the bioeconomy and circular economy for food, feed, chemicals, plastics, packaging, textiles, and renewable feedstock derived from a process using renewable energy sources.

The non-GAAP financial measures include: adjusted Earnings Per Share, adjusted Operating Income, net debt / adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient’s annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Management excludes intangible asset amortization from adjusted EPS as it believes excluding acquired intangible asset amortization is a useful measure of current period earnings per share.

THE CHALLENGE A global business equipment manufacturer decided to develop a premium line of computer mouse products that offered improved ergonomics and soft-touch qualities. The manufacturer sought high-performance material solutions to create these features and significantly improve the computer user’s experience. THE SOLUTION Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team again turned to Avient for its unparalleled portfolio of materials, ranging from specialty polymers to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

Figure 7 shows how the rib creates a thick region. Figure 12 is one example of gussets used to help reduce warp on long flat faces by adding strength to the wall, preventing it from buckling or curling in on itself. They should be placed two times the diameter from the outside wall and one times the diameter (D) from an inside wall.

One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%. Another consideration is that recycling either material once it’s overmolded, whether cohesively or with adhesives, can be a challenge. However, price per pound is just one aspect of the overall cost.
