Grades in the Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations 5200 MS series offer an alternative to ABS materials in luxury packaging caps and closures.  POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – March 21, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, today announced the introduction of new Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulation grades with low shrinkage, offering luxury packaging customers an alternative to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) based materials.   To enable customers to use their existing ABS molds, Avient has developed new PP-based grades with comparable shrinkage to traditionally used ABS materials.

In addition to developing the right materials, the teams worked closely to transition all aspects of manufacturing using the new materials. The switch to new materials allowed Kalas to not only stay in the European market, but to expand its presence and enhance its sustainability profile. Competitive advantage in existing and new markets: Kalas was able to complete its conversion to lead-free wire and cable materials ahead of its competitors.

The cradle-to-gate portion of the product life cycle refers to the carbon impact of a product from raw materials and product manufacturing. reSound Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs are manufactured globally, and each material’s PCF is location-specific.     Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

We used our expertise in formulating innovative materials for demanding appliance and electronic applications to develop this family of Geon HC materials, which offer superior chemical resistance to many of the strongest medical disinfectants.” In addition, Geon HC materials offer excellent flame resistance, impact resistance and flow properties.

Two innovative materials from PolyOne are featured in Schneider’s Multifix™ Air home electrical installations. This project highlights Schneider as a leader in eco-conscious design, and demonstrates the importance of materials that reinforce these efforts while maximizing production efficiency,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe at PolyOne. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.

Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other traditional materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites. Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable materials solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.

This allows the materials to retain structural properties that fall between those of standard and specialty nylons when exposed to moisture. In effect, they serve as a material solution to combat warp distortion from uneven cooling. Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

CLEVELAND – Consumer, healthcare, transportation and building products manufacturers now have a high-performance material offering both excellent properties and sustainability in one cost-effective, vinyl-based material package. Geon BIO materials are formulated with PolyOne’s plant-based reFlex™ 300 plasticizer,” said James Stephenson, director, Global Marketing, Geon Performance Materials.
