As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins. Coupled with their ability to be used across a variety of different resins, These antimicrobial additives provided significant value while protecting against microbial degradation, mold and mildew.

Using Hydrocerol with core-back molding technology, a process in which the mold is opened slightly to further reduce pressure and allow the foam core to expand, Avient helped the customer leverage density reduction to lower finished part weight. Hydrocerol is also used in other automotive applications as air ducts, wheel covers and other structural parts.

Manufacturers use diverse PCR sources with differing colors, darkness and opacity, while specific PCR grade availability can be unreliable. Avient developed a Color Simulation Tool to calculate the final color of a PCR-based end article and that can be used to:

The Avient team used their extensive knowledge and experience working with high-density polymers to develop a specialized Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymer composite that met PolyCase’s needs and fit the profile of their proprietary injection molding process. Equally important, end users experience significantly reduced exposure and cleanup costs associated with using lead-core bullets in indoor and outdoor range facilities when hunting and shooting.

The technology adds value to many of the materials used in manufacturing wire and cable, including: •    LLDPE •    LDPE •    HDPE      •    MDPE •    EVA •    ECCOH™ LSFOH solutions Enables versatility as dry silane can be used with most commonly processed wire and cable polymers Easy-to-use

Using these process aids can result in greater production efficiencies with faster extrusion line speeds and molding cycle times. Improves line speeds and cycle times, leading to reduced energy use during processing Colorant Chromatics™ PVDF Processing Aid boosted overall production efficiency by minimizing die build-up through use of a PVDF-specific processing aid

Created using ColorMatrix™ advanced liquid color dispersions, the new colorants  produce effects such as iridescent color movements and unique surface appearance that can enhance brand presence and deliver differentiated shelf impact across beverage, personal care and household product packaging applications. When working closely with customers early in the design stage, we can use these solutions to help them maximize shelf appeal and increase market share.” Because they are able to use conventional gloss preform and blow molds, there is no need for customers to create new tooling.

While rigid polymers are typically used for this because of their conductive and wireless properties, Avient has found additional value in low signal loss technology within its thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio. Using the test method reference from ASTM D2520 Part C, we generated repeatable data on the samples of four select formulations at the same four thicknesses, recording the average and median values for both dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df).   Download this white paper below to learn which TPEs were chosen, the methodology used, and the test results.
