Working together with GOBIE designers, PolyOne helped develop a recyclable, dishwasher-safe, and FDA-compliant TPE material that avoids leaching into the bottle’s contents. GOBIE H2O is a socially responsible, product-based brand focused on developing innovative alternatives to the inconsiderate consumption and disposal of single-use water bottles.

ColorForward™ 2025: the 19th edition of Avient’s color trend forecast developed to inspire brand owners and designers of plastic products, featuring 20 colors and effects derived from societal trends likely to influence consumer color preferences and the design of consumer products in the future PCR Color Prediction Service: a digital tool that can illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials, which can help simplify the overall color decision-making process during product development and launch

Through the collaboration of a cross-functional team, we harnessed Avient’s materials science and product development expertise to develop and incorporate proprietary flame retardant technology into the panel material formulation.

Product developers reported that they needed a better TPE to provide superior bonding performance with ABS without requiring high temperature and pressure during 2K molding. High-end product line = competitive advantage: With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully designed and produced a new, high-end product line that compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of appearance, performance and durability.

Proven invest-to-grow approach to integration will accelerate product development, commercial excellence and service to customers Bolstering PolyOne’s existing portfolio of thermoset composite solutions is the acquisition of Gordon Composites, which develops high strength profiles and laminates for use in vertical and crossbow archery, sports and recreation equipment, prosthetics, and office furniture systems.  

Throughout the week, Avient is showcasing its additives developed to support sustainability in the flexible packaging industry, including: Cesa™ Nox A4R Additive for Enhanced Recycling: developed to stabilize recycled polyolefins and protect them from degradation during processing, enabling the incorporation of increased recycled content into packaging films, maintaining high-quality levels of PCR and helping promote a more circular economy

Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals Surround EMI/RFI Shielding Formulations are developed to protect critical electronics applications by minimizing electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI).

Development and application of SBC compounds to offer good economics and formulation flexibility meeting the end use performance requirements Select™ is a combined hardware and software system for developing and prototyping new custom colors in real-time, at a customer’s site or at a Avient facility

Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially developed for the manufacture of co-extruded surface protective films (Portuguese language version) The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys
