Based in polysulfone resins, they provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance without compromising safety while also responding to the needs of extended shelf life. This cutting-edge tool offers an important data point for the carbon footprint of Avient’s materials so customers can better understand the environmental impact of products, meet sustainability goals, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions.

For example, through these processes, we have identified potential human rights risks, including: protecting the health and safety of our associates and contractors, addressing modern slavery in the supply chain and preventing, minimizing and eliminating waste contamination in the environment. Ongoing potential risk identification and mitigation in occupational health and safety is critical to our “safety first” culture. Focus on continuous improvement in this area is described in Occupational Health and Safety.

The most common post-surface manipulation is called “tapping”—the practice of placing a Teflon sheet over a cured print and hitting it with a transfer machine. The sheet usually has a high gloss side and a satin side, and whichever side is used will impress a similar surface on the ink. Using the gloss side is a great way to make a print look like an old-time transfer, while the satin side of the Teflon sheet is more widely-used as it gives the ink a smoother, softer hand.
