What performance factors drive your preference for aluminum or steel in part design? Are current metal parts plagued with performance problems, such as corrosion? Contact our team to explore how we can maximize the performance of your automotive components.

Getting consistency and performance globally encompasses more than material availability. Over 20 molds at varying geometries to validate structural, application, and functional performance. In addition to common environmental simulation or functional performance testing services, it can be helpful to conduct individualized testing and simulations in order to optimize material formulations, product performance, or design.

In recent years, white opaque PET bottles for dairy applications have been under increasing scrutiny for the potential effects their mineral fillers can have on the recycle stream used to create fiber. Testing also shows that in established opaque white PET recycle streams, Lactra products are suitable for closed loop bottle-to-bottle recycling.  Commercially available in major regions around the world, new Lactra light blocking additive technology from Avient can help customers facing TiO2 restrictions comply with regulations without compromising performance.

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance.  PolyOne’s chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and each business segment and to allocate resources. Senior management uses operating income excluding special items, adjusted EPS and working capital to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.

Transform your aftermarket parts with solutions that redefine performance with strength, toughness, and design freedom. Transform your aftermarket parts with solutions that redefine performance with strength, toughness, and design freedom.

Offering smooth performance from small-scale precision in hinges to industrial-grade durability in bearings. Our comprehensive portfolio consists of Polystrand™ and Fiber-Line™ branded tapes, made using unique processes and materials to customize performance properties to meet specific application requirements such as tensile and flexural strength, impact performance, creep resistance, and chemical and UV resistance. Discover how Avient's polymer colorants and additives can help increase the performance and appeal of nonwovens used in hygiene and medical applications

In both cases, we’re making it easier for customers to switch to sustainable options by providing comparable performance to traditional materials.” Electric vehicle connectors require materials with specific performance properties, including chemical resistance, flame retardancy and colorability. For further environmental protection, the new Edgetek™ PKE materials include an NHFR additive, providing flame retardant performance to the UL94 V0 standard.

Improving the safety and reliability of part performance is a challenge our customers often bring to us,” said Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Avient’s new LubriOne Internally Lubricated Formulations made without PTFE are available across multiple polymer systems with comparable performance capabilities to conventional internally lubricated grades.   Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, and outdoor sports
