Based on static and dynamic data, the virtual simulations can more accurately predict where an injection molded plastic part may crack or break when exposed to physical loading forces or a sudden impact (crash simulation). This enables customers to replace metal with plastic and take advantage of benefits like sustainability through lightweighting, design freedom, and easier processing.”   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 15, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, today announced the extension of its reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) portfolio with new, globally produced, GP 7820 grades for the Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, held today through October 19, 2024. Avient will be showcasing these new materials at Fakuma, the world’s leading trade fair for plastic processing, in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from October 15-19, 2024. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Cesa™ Laser Additives allow manufacturers to optimize the use of laser technology to create markings or assemble plastic parts.   Laser marking can be used to create unique product codes (UPC) and branding or decorative patterns on different plastics, effectively replacing labels. Supports optimal use of laser technology for marking or welding plastic parts

This much-anticipated launch will debut at the upcoming International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, Fakuma 2023. This is particularly advantageous for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory, giving them the ability to stockpile large quantities of virgin or recycled resin while ordering flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
