Liking what they heard, the engineers decided to team up with Avient specialists in polymer distribution, colorants and additives to tackle the issue. Working together, the team developed a natural ABS formulation with an additive package that provided consistent color along with heat-stabilizing properties.

The design team reached out to long-term supplier Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers to help develop a customized solution. Teams from both companies worked closely to understand the specific property needs, and then searched for an impact modifier solution that the manufacturer could readily blend into polypropylene at the molding machine.

When PolyCase Ammunition was getting ready to produce its new line of high performance ammunition, the project team knew they needed a material that would be easily enable them to produce their patent-pending, injection molded projectile designs that function as well or better than conventional lead-core projectiles.  The Avient team used their extensive knowledge and experience working with high-density polymers to develop a specialized Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymer composite that met PolyCase’s needs and fit the profile of their proprietary injection molding process.

WHAT IS FOGGING AND HOW CAN WE PREVENT IT? Consumers perceive the packaged food as poor in quality • Moisture accumulation can lead to spoilage • Consumers are unlikely to purchase foods they cannot see Consumers want to see what they are buying, and that is especially true for fresh foods. 3© 2020 Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 food packaging is not only a problem of aesthetics, but also hygiene.

At our facility in Birmingham, Alabama, a team was established to develop a plan for waste minimization. In its first year of implementation, the plan is already seeing success. The team continues to identify and qualify new collaborators to recycle and repurpose waste.

Designers Brian Everett, Jane Spikowski, and John Church of PolyOne’s IQ Design team donated design time and expertise to help White, executive director of GV2020, develop his invention, a diagnostic device called the U-See™. Together, the PolyOne team worked on industrial design, ergonomics, manufacturability, and material selection for the device, together with White and toolmaker/molder Alpha Tool and Mold, a longtime PolyOne customer. PHOTO CAPTION: PolyOne’s IQ Design team assisted with the design, moldfilling analysis, and production of the injection-molded USee device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.
