With our global reach and deep interest in corporate citizenship, Avient is ideally positioned to help customers in the plastics industry achieve their product stewardship goals.

CLEVELAND – September 13, 2018 – Before PolyOne introduced Versaflex™ XP shock absorbing TPEs to the market, it reached out to an independent testing lab to understand just how well these new materials perform relative to TPUs, one of the most commonly used materials in phone cases.

SHANGHAI – March 16, 2022 – Avient today launched Nymax™ BIO Formulations, a line of bio-based polyamide materials that help customers reach their sustainability goals.

All eight grades in the new series are also ISO 10993-4 and -5, REACH SVHC, and RoHS compliant.

We enable our customers to reach their goals – improving patient outcomes with life-saving medical devices that incorporate more durable materials.”

As a leader in sustainable colorant and additive solutions for polymers, we are proud to have received this recognition from the Association of Plastics Recyclers and look forward to further supporting our customers to reach their recycling goals,” said Mayendran Pillay, director of marketing for Color & Additives, U.S. and Canada, at Avient.

The color selection is based on intensive research of the societal trends that are expected to reach prominence around the world and to influence, consciously or unconsciously, consumers‘ aesthetic preferences over the next few years.

These new solutions effectively absorb both ultraviolet (UV) and visible light before either can reach light-sensitive contents such as food or pharmaceuticals, helping to reduce their degradation.

This design will better serve disaster victims in the many countries that WaterStep reaches with our ongoing relief and humanitarian aid efforts.”

Additionally, they meet strict regulatory requirements, passing Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standards and certification by TÜV Rheinland.
