New Maxxam™ REC, Maxxam™ BIO, and Nymax ™ BIO grades: An expanded portfolio of recycled and bio-based polyolefin and polyamide formulations now manufactured in Europe. Customer success story with a medical device company using Avient’s Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Bio-compatible Premier Healthcare Colorants: Intended specifically for medical applications, the pre-colored solutions that are fully bio-compatible per ISO 10993 standards helped provide a customer that manufactures medical devices with ultra-high-heat resistance and performance for its orthopedic instruments without compromising safety.  Knowledgeable representatives from Avient will be on hand to help manufacturers address challenges in meeting sustainability and performance goals and offer visitors the opportunity for in-depth collaboration and discussion at our Collaboration Café. 

Dyneema® HB330 and Dyneema® HB332 offer a balanced approach on mechanical stiffness, temperature stability, and superior V50 performance – allowing body armor manufacturers to develop the lightest weight armor in the industry.  As the only manufacturer of ballistic materials to make both its fiber and UD material in-house in the United States of America, the Dyneema® brand is trusted by elite state and federal forces and is also fully compliant with the Berry Amendment. Dyneema® also provides the same level of consistency, quality, and traceability for European customers through its manufacturing facility in Heerlen, The Netherlands. 

Additionally, each manufacturing process has unique attributes in terms of the speed of the process and demands placed on the material during processing. The high-speed manufacture of thin-wall wire jacketing would require a distinctly different formulation compared to the extrusion of a large cross-section stock shape such as a rod. Fluoropolymers can use a wide range of colors that can be matched to a standard reference color (for example, RAL or Pantone®) or custom matched to a manufactured part.

SHANGHAI – April 20, 2018 – Next week at CHINAPLAS, the largest plastics trade fair in Asia, PolyOne will showcase a variety of breakthrough polymers, colorants, and additives that are enabling manufacturers and designers to unlock new potential.  Custom Engineered Polymer Formulations for 5G wireless telecom equipment meet specific performance requirements and reduce manufacturing lead times for faster design qualification.  Low VOC / FOG TPEs for automotive HVAC flaps help OEMs meet Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards, with grades that satisfy VDA 278 (fogging) and VDA 270 (odor) test standards while minimizing secondary manufacturing steps.

Inspired by our customers, we are featuring advanced solutions that help solve the toughest issues in material selection, distribution, manufacturing, colorants and design at this important event,” said Mark Crist, vice president of Asia and vice president of Global Key Accounts, PolyOne Corporation. With these solutions, manufacturers can reduce potential risks and loss of revenue from counterfeits in consumer goods, medical devices, packaging, and consumer electronics markets. Food-Safe TPE: Versaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) enables consumer products manufacturers to replace a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) silicone material with a softer, child-friendly TPE material, while maintaining strict compliance with food contact regulations in Japan and China.

Avient introduces new high-impact Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations, developed to replace die-cast or machined metals in premium weighted applications while offering superior design freedom, manufacturing efficiency, and sustainability. We identified a growing need for high-density injection molding solutions that will help brand owners, designers, and manufacturers create weighted premium products with more complex designs than possible when using metals, while simultaneously meeting higher demands on impact strength,” says Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. These materials are currently manufactured in Asia and are available globally.
