We have come to rely on this common plastic because it is convenient, lightweight, safe, cost effective and highly recyclable. THE CHALLENGES Improving rPET Quality • Reduce yellowing, improve color and assure IV uniformity Enhancing Bottle Performance • Improve bottle strength, reduce acetaldehyde and minimize thread pulls & blowouts that cause high scrap rates Reducing Carbon Footprint • Reduce energy consumption and raw material usage while driving product efficiencies OUR SOLUTIONS Aligning our work with sustainability demands, we address those challenges for rPET producers, convertors and brand owners alike with technologies to improve both quality and performance, ensuring the recyclability of plastic packaging. ISSUE AVIENT SOLUTION WHAT IT IS WHAT IT DOES Bottle quality and strength; energy usage ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat RHC Process aid, approved by Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR), which helps to reduce carbon emissions and improve the quality and performance of rPET, allowing for higher levels of rPET to be used.

THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER FOR OVERMOLDING ATTRACTIVE, PRACTICAL HANDGRIPS ONTO ABS RESIN © 2021, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about OnFlex-S™ TPEs, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit avient.com THE CHALLENGE Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers, a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced quality, durability and aesthetics. The new products have been very well received by consumers, and have allowed the company to address the competitive threat from all-plastic sprayers High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability

While commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low temperature impact. Automotive: Demand for plastics to handle increasing temperatures due to the proliferation of electronics in engine compartments and tighter spaces. Most high-heat plastics are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential processing issues.

Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives for automotive interiors Plastics can attract dust particles, creating an unattractive smudgy film on their surface. Plastic parts in the passenger compartment develop electric charges as people get in and out of the vehicle and air circulates through the ventilating/air conditioning system. They bind themselves to the plastic in a three dimensional network so they do not contribute to VOC emissions.

Bio-polymers are already used with success in different plastic products, notably in packaging, but to be used in healthcare applications, they need to be evaluated to the relevant protocols to support regulatory compliance of the end article. Avient provides pre-tested color and additive concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize the risk of non-compliance and support a more sustainable profile for plastic products used in the healthcare industry. 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.
