As a result, one major equipment manufacturer and customer opted to employ a novel repair method.

A supplier of plastic compounds now has an invaluable competitive edge in one of its primary markets, thanks to an in-depth research and color-finding project recently completed in partnership with Avient ColorWorks™.

See how Avient helped one manufacturer switch from steel to nylon.

Hard/soft combinations of either rigid plastic or metal with TPEs are one way to achieve haptic contrast, which in turn, differentiates products with aesthetic appeal.

PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers recently worked with one of the largest infant care brands in Japan to develop a new feeding set

ONE MATERIAL AMPLIFIES COMFORT AND HEIGHTENS DURABILITY Challe nge Accepted. On one hand, soft materials can reduce shoulder impact, but it’s tough to find a material that provides plenty of comfort while also resisting material breakdown. So HIVIZ product development engineers aimed their sights on recoil reduction technology for a major high-end rifle manufacturer, and it was game on.

It offers excellent surface engineering properties such as low wear, reduced friction, high lubricity, and no squeak. Avient and the manufacturer conducted a series of molding trials to establish proper part performance, and the teams also coordinated sales, engineering and technical support in tandem.
