This is where Avient’s Foaming Prediction Service can help. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Provides a mold-filling study • Helps maximize part weight reduction • Predicts mechanical properties • Enables the calculation of necessary clamping force • Reduces physical trials • Optimizes tool design and production processes KEY APPLICATIONS • Components made from polypropylene (PP), talcum filled, and glass fiber filled PP with a minimum part thickness of 2mm • Automotive structural parts e.g., door panels, dashboard carriers • Consumer goods e.g., interior fridge parts, transport boxes and composters, vacuum cleaner base panels PRODUCT BULLETIN Sustainability Spotlight 1 Moldflow® is a registered trademark of Autodesk® * Avient Foaming Prediction Service will provide general information based on available inputs.

This new color and special effects option helps polymer packaging do just that. Available in both liquid and solid formulations, Impress helps to create packaging with a brilliant glossy, metallic surface in unlimited color options.

This solution offers better color consistency and better color dispersion in transparent PC resins, helping to retain transparent properties and preventing contamination by keeping production lines clean. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading to better color consistency • Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments, helping to retain transparent properties • Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness in production lines often found with powders • Lower inventory, easier supply chain management • Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage • Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in PC chips • Supports sustainability through improved color and material changeover time • Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to alternatives PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

This can result in helping to reduce net working capital by cutting inventory costs. Lower let down ratios (LDRs) also help optimize cash flow and material use.

Support hygiene concept: Packaging with anti-fog plus additives help to limit the growth of bacteria and fungi and reduce waste by prolonging the shelf life of food, maintaining its freshness in the packaging. KEY CHARACTERISTICS Cesa Anti-fog Plus additives help packaging to retain clarity, maintaining an excellent balance of immediate and long-lasting effects under both hot and cold conditions in mono and multilayer film.

This solution can help avoid static problems, while also improving processability and mold release. Contact one of our experts to learn more about how we can help you to use antistatic additives.

Furthermore, Avient’s technical team helped achieve a surface finish that would allow for a strong bond with an adhesive backing and recommended suitable adhesives to achieve optimal bonding of the materials. THE IMPACT The launch of the Wax Mat®1 grip tape introduced a fresh alternative to wax for wet grip to surfboard decks, helping to further differentiate SurfCo.

Using phase barriers made of Avient’s OnFlex™ S HF, HF 7001, and Synprene or Synprene™ RT thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) will help you deliver on that promise. Good insulation between phases – Our materials deliver dielectric properties better than nylon and equivalent to flexible PVC, helping to prevent arc flash across the phases.
