A leading manufacturer/distributor in this market
was faced with quality inconsistencies and supply
availability issues with flat springs that were initially
specified for their vibratory conveyors.
Working together to understand the unique
requirements for the company’s conveyor application,
the engineering team at Avient developed customized
flat springs that provide more consistent quality and
longer fatigue life than the original components,
improving conveyor performance and longevity.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/trilliant-hc-conductive-pipette-case-study.pdf
THE CHALLENGE
A manufacturer of high-quality laboratory research
products was eager to expand into the conductive
pipette tip market.
High-quality conductive pipette
tips must meet a number of demanding performance
criteria, including:
• Accurate measurement of minute quantities
of liquid
• Hydrophobic properties to minimize fluid retention
• Concentric dimensions and warp resistance
• Excellent chemical resistance
The manufacturer asked Avient for a specialized
solution to meet these exacting needs in a timely and
efficient manner so they could capitalize on its market
opportunity
THE SOLUTION
Avient’s sales and technical professionals worked
closely with the manufacturer to understand the
demanding requirements of the end-use application,
manufacturing considerations and cost.

Unlike
traditional scavengers, it does not cause discoloration
or yellowing of the bottle, helping to maintain the
quality of the recycle stream.
Brands and converters are
increasing their use of rPET in packaging to meet
current regulations or their own sustainability
commitments, but quality rPET is needed.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future;
• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows, including without any limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues;
• Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Color business, including any expected synergies;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business;
• Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply;
• Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
• Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
• An inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
• Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
• Information systems failures and cyberattacks;
• Our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions;
• Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and

• Inconsistent base color of recycled materials
• Lightest color recycled material in high demand for all applications ($$)
• Even with clear/transparent materials, color degrades over repeated processing
• OpticaTM Toners and Super-concentrated colorants to
reduce and mask recycled material discoloration
• SmartHeatTM reduces heat history to minimize yellowing
• Color Simulation Tool to assist with color space design
• Stabilization of color fluctuation driven by variable recycled polymer
• In-line color correction to optimize customer manufacturing efficiency

1: Color Management
Recycled Material Restricts Color Options
With virgin material, we
can design across a broad
color spectrum
The darker the recycled
materials, the more color
design freedom is restricted
This bright yellow
is not achievable
with high
concentrations of
dark recycled
materials
Avient can provide customer guidance on maximum recycle
content possible and color concentration required to achieve
desired color

2: Decontamination
Recycled material feedstocks are contaminated
• Feedstock variability supplies the recycle process
• Insufficient washing at recycler
• Residual labels and printing inks cause quality and NIAS issues
• Unpleasant recycled material odor (in processing and the final application)
• Clean, food grade, recycled material availability in high demand
• Reliable decontamination to reduce NIAS concerns
• Full odor removal
• CESATM Laser Marking to eliminate contaminating printing inks,
labels and glue
• AAzureTM process aids and scavengers to enable food and
beverage taste purity in PET packaging
• ProsureTM range of formulations to enable NIAS compliance and
security (customer peace of mind)
NIAS = Non Intentionally Added Substances

3: Maintaining Mechanical Properties
• Mechanical properties of recycled materials degrade after multiple heat cycles
• Today's recycling protocols only focus on one recycle loop…in reality, there
will be several
• Legislation and brand owners are targeting higher recycled material ratio
incorporation and full circularity
• Polymer quality stability over multiple loops to deliver circular recyclability
• Stress cracking of recycled bottles
• Upgrading performance of lower quality recycled materials
• Specification and guided selection amongst highly variable recycled materials
• CESATM antioxidants and process aids to enhance
physical properties
• SmartHeatTM reduces heat history to minimize yellowing
• rePrize™ for PET polymer chain repair and extension
Avient Corporation 44
Multi-material packaging is harder to recycle
• Contamination of polymer streams
• Issues in sorting
• Issues in separation
• Trend is to restrict multi-material systems in favor of mono-material constructions
• Improve recyclability of PET gas barriers
• Barrier system development for Polyolefins
• Recyclable barrier systems for film and sheet
• Portfolio of compatibilizers to enable multilayer constructions
• AmosorbTM to extend beverage shelf life by scavenging
oxygen through the bottle wall
• CaptureTM to extend product shelf life through oxygen
scavenging but without contaminating the bottle
• Lactra SX TM to prevent light-induced oxidation in liquid dairy
products stored at higher temperatures
Avient Corporation 45

Brand Owners require a consistent brand identity
• Inconsistent quality streams pose a challenge to delivering homogeneous product
quality and aesthetics to the consumer
• Brands demand recycled content, but with color/property consistency
• Recyclers are challenged to fulfill needs from brand owners and convertors
• Specification and selection of recycled material grades for targeted applications
• Simulation of recycled material performance in the end-use application
• Leverage re-formulation expertise to provide a consistent packaging product (color and
mechanical properties)
Our Service and Color Expertise differentiate Avient and allow
us to support customers throughout the entire design process
• Design for use: Color matching, Color design options
• Recycle lot selection
• Improving mechanical properties
• Improving material processing
Closer customer collaboration to support recycle efforts

Acqua Plose needed a cap that would maintain their
highest standards of water quality, seal integrity
and sustainability.
THE IMPACT
Caps made by closurelogic with Avient’s low migration
cap liner technology preserve water quality while
ensuring seal integrity.
Brand owners are seeking
more easily recycled materials, such as aluminum,
and closurelogic’s use of TPE cap liners satisfy all
three challenges—water quality, seal integrity and
sustainability.
