KEY REQUIREMENTS
WHY AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Trilliant HC GF Polyketone _PK_ Product Bulletin.pdf
In addition to these high-performance
characteristics, this healthcare portfolio offers a
reduced carbon footprint over the product life cycle
because PK production emits up to 61 percent less
carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Comparable dimensional stability to nylon
• Reinforced with 10–33% glass fill
• High impact and wear resistance
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
Whether using a standard or customized
formulation, the PK-based Trilliant grades provide
a high-performing, cost-competitive, and more
eco-conscious alternative to competitive materials
found in biopharmaceutical processing, hospital
settings, and home healthcare applications.

THE SOLUTION
Maintaining high organoleptic standards while easing
processing windows can be difficult.
Maintaining a seal for carbonated water with high
internal pressure can be difficult and closurelogic caps
compression molded with GLS TPE liners are known to
have excellent pressure retention.
THE IMPACT
Caps made by closurelogic with Avient’s low migration
cap liner technology preserve water quality while
ensuring seal integrity.

The material facilitates two-shot
molding, a highly efficient manufacturing process that
eliminates time-consuming, high-cost assembly.
It offers excellent
surface engineering properties such as low wear,
reduced friction, high lubricity, and no squeak.
THE IMPACT
The new premium mouse hit store shelves amid
positive reviews, generating brisk sales and enabling
the manufacturer to improve its share of market.

These include high-temperature,
engineering and recycled polymers.
Customers are guided through a color development
process at the earliest stages of their product
development to establish high-impact colors for their
brands, helping accelerate time to market.
Impact modifiers,
scratch resistance, and antioxidant additives are just a few
examples.
