They are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Avient’s chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of Avient and each business segment and to allocate resources. Management believes this provides comparability of the performance of the combined businesses.

In response, Avient developed GLS TPEs with antimicrobial additives, available as Versaflex™ and OnFlex™ grades. Additional antimicrobial-containing formulations are in development.

Looking to differentiate in the market and meet the desires of consumers, Difaş worked with Avient to develop a solution for toothbrush handles, combs, and hairbrush handles that utilizes natural filler while also offering high-end colorability and durability.  Avient material science experts are continuously developing innovative solutions that enable our customers to achieve their sustainability goals and reduce overall impact on the world’s resources,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing at Avient.

To enable customers to use their existing ABS molds, Avient has developed new PP-based grades with comparable shrinkage to traditionally used ABS materials. Market dynamics and regulations are always evolving, and at Avient, we are committed to continuously developing new solutions that help our customers overcome any challenges they may face,” said Matt Mitchell, Director of Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

Developed in response to increasing demand from regional brands in China for greater product differentiation, this collection of color and additive formulations also offers to streamline production and reduce manufacturing cost. We’ve developed the Frost Collection to enable brands to create high-end, sophisticated, and engaging bottles in a wide range of color options that also expand design freedom and cost effectiveness.”

Avient customers can visit these facilities to work with designers and create innovative effects for plastic color and design, using industry trends to streamline product development. The Phoenix Colorworks Center, like all other centers, will also offer onsite or virtual color development, a dedicated design lab, rapid prototyping, Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) trend consultation, and more.

This innovative technology is developed to meet the growing demand for high-performance protection in the electronics, appliances, building and construction, and transportation industries. The new series is also compatible with high-speed processing and can be easily customized, giving designers and innovators an edge in product development. 

Working closely with the Citroën design team, PolyOne developed a specialty OnColor™ Smartbatch™ color and additive system that allows the distinctive panels to meet stringent UV stability, appearance and durability requirements. Added Palm, “By working with Citroën and its Tier I suppliers, we were able to develop an advanced solution that provides the panels with uniform, attractive, and durable color despite exposure to sunlight, heat, and detergents.

If you do not see your substrate in this page, please contact us directly; we can develop a custom overmolding TPE that is optimized to bond to your specific substrate. Versaflex™ OM 9-801N was developed to bond to a variety of substrates allowing molders to use the same thermoplastic elastomer with varying substrates.

There is significant momentum in the textile manufacturing industry toward developing sustainable solutions across the entire supply chain,” explains John Van Hulle, President, Global Color Additives and Inks, PolyOne. This solution offers the environmental benefits and operational efficiencies of spin coloring, but with greater production flexibility and development speed to help brands and fiber producers react faster to market trends.”
