You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. Our customers value the breadth of our solutions as we can tap into a broad array of raw materials to solve their specific needs.

The second acquired business, Polystrand, operates on the leading edge of continuous reinforced thermoplastic composite technology, a next generation material science that delivers the high strength and lightweight characteristics of composites, further enhanced with the design flexibility to form more complex shapes. It’s a highly-respected company where our aspirations, ideals and innovation can flourish, and we can continue to push the limits of composite material science and its many potential uses.”   

In addition, samples exposed to high humidity for seven days at 85°C and 85% relative humidity showed limited loss of color, suggesting that these colorants can be used in high-humidity environments. Comparative testing between PA66-GF/FR without and with OnColor orange showed no impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, such as flexural and impact strength.   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

AVIENT SOLUTION ADDRESSES CRITICAL MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY ISSUES AND DELIVERS OVER $100,000 PER YEAR IN SAVINGS With the Avient material, the manufacturer is expected to save $122,000 per year vs. silicone. Even after the cost of the new tooling, the company will save about $72,000 the first year, an impressive and rapid return on the investment in new tooling.

As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Avient solution. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer is saving $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material. These savings resulted from lower specific gravity of the Avient material (0.88 compared to 0.95) and a 50% reduction in scrap rate.

For example, our recently opened CycleWorks facility in Italy is providing cutting-edge support for the development of new and sustainable masterbatch formulations, many of which we will display at Chinaplas.” Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

The new lab and plant will conduct cutting edge chemistry testing and evaluations to help customers tackle and overcome the challenge of plastics recycling and the goal of a circular economy. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
