Plastics processing periodically requires the complete removal of thermooxidized deposits from extruders and injection molding machines. The effectiveness of Cesa Clean comes from the mechanical scrubbing action during purging between the material, plasticizing screw, and barrel. Improve the flow characteristics of plastics during process and enhance both appearance and function

Reinforced polymer materials are increasingly being used for structural applications because they allow manufacturers to replace traditional metal components with lighter-weight plastics. However, transitioning from metal to plastic requires thorough technical analysis and preparation. By factoring in static and dynamic data, the CAE simulations can identify where an injection molded plastic part may crack or break when exposed to real-world conditions such as physical loading force, sudden impact (crash simulation), or environmental factors like temperature and humidity.

Plastics are a crucial tool in saving lives and improving health and safety in our communities. Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers are formulated to meet demanding healthcare device and application challenges without phthalate plasticizers. WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology provides antimicrobial and antifungal additives that reduce bacterial, mold and fungal growth in finished plastic parts used in hospital surfaces.

With resources like Cycleworks™ Innovation Center for Plastic Recycling and Color Prediction Service, Avient continues to strengthen our expertise to enable our customers to meet their sustainability commitments. While we continue to make progress on this goal, we recognize that only 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end-users.* Through our alliances and partnerships, we remain committed to ending plastic waste in the environment though global investments and projects.

Collaborating to Reduce Plastic Ocean Waste Avient collaborates with Hager Group and Plastic Bank to help reduce ocean-bound plastic waste 

We were among the first companies in the plastics industry to establish global policies aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating the use of heavy metals and phthalate plasticizers. With our global reach and deep interest in corporate citizenship, Avient is ideally positioned to help customers in the plastics industry achieve their product stewardship goals.

Our investments in R&D, resulting sustainable solutions portfolio, and support for solutions to the plastic waste problem are outward signs of that commitment.” 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 PolyOne employs approximately 6,900 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

Avient is advancing the performance and sustainability of plastics through innovation and collaboration, and will be exhibiting these capabilities at Chinaplas 2021 in hall 16, booth 16J41. 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®. 

When used in place of traditional carbon black, OnColor RC Environmental Black maintains expected performance levels in plastics.
