For example, consider the Airbump® plastic impact panels on the doors and bumpers of the Citroën C4 Cactus. Engineered plastic compounds that can meet or exceed the properties and appearances of metal are creating even more opportunities for plastic parts to take over as an incumbent material. 

Now the benefits of thermoplastic materials are available also for the applications traditionally produced from ceramics or thermoset plastic materials You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product. CREATING A SAFE AND ULTRA-CONNECTED SOCIETY WITH FUNCTIONAL PLASTICS That’s our purpose—plain and simple.

POLYOLEFINS ALIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY GOALS POLYOLEFINS ARE EVERYWHERE Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are among the most popular plastics in the world. These may include: • Achieve a percentage of all packaging that is reusable, recyclable or compostable • Increase the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, up to 100% • Use lightweighting or other solutions that will help reduce your carbon footprint • Replace petroleum-based materials with renewable materials such as bio-plastics Whatever your goals, we can help you achieve them with customized solutions based on a number of factors.

When added to plastics, special effect pigments create a distinctive impression like pearlescence, sparkle or a metallic look.

Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

Reduction in yellowing using Color Compensation Technology (CCT)   Reduced material consumption/cycle time/improved properties—nucleation Fast acting new generation nucleant for PE and PP; improved dimensional stability, thermal and mechanical properties    Laser marking replacing ink printing/labels Solvent-free, high-speed identification for Nd/YAG laser    Antiblock for PE/PP film Non-migrating additive system maintaining high gloss and printability  Antioxidants for PE, PP, TPE Thermal protection during converting/ downstream sterilization     Brand protection/ anticounterfeit Range of covert and non-covert systems    Volatiles/odor absorber for PE/PP Physical absorption of a wide range of molecules responsible for odor, VOC and potential extractables/ leachables in plastics   Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.

In some cases, additives are required to achieve the desired marking quality by enabling the plastic to absorb laser energy and/or improve the laser marking contrast.

In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).
