Working with White, Avient helped to bring his invention to life– the USee™ vision testing system.
I first started working on this problem more than 14 years ago when on international outreach missions in the U.S.
Avient aims to guide sustainable philanthropy by working on inventions like the USee™ with organizations committed to making the world a better place.

The second approach involves eliminating the use of fluorochemicals (the carbon fluorine bond) and working with alternative hydrocarbon chemistries.
Working with alternative hydrocarbon solutions, which are inherently less robust, requires more customization for a given application, possibly adding complexity to product solutions.
Working to provide customers with alternatives, the Avient approach is to follow five key steps:

PolyOne is very pleased to work with Resol, helping them explore new possibilities in design and manufacturing and play a part in the success of the Vela table,” said Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe for PolyOne.
It is exciting to see Resol win these awards and it reinforces our focus on working closely with our customers to enable them to develop truly innovative and unique products.”
Working with PolyOne to transition from metal to plastic helped Resol increase its design options, lower overall weight and reduce manufacturing complexity, PolyOne was also able to help Resol achieve excellent aesthetics with molded-in color while eliminating the cost and hassles of painting.

HOW VERSAFLEX TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN PORTABLE SPEAKERS APPLICATIONS
GASKETS
Water and Dust Protection
- Tight housing seals with no leakage over time
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps required of
O-rings by overmolding directly onto the substrate;
strong adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Injection molding TPEs in gaskets enables
complex designs in which simple O-rings would be
challenging to assemble
SPEAKER SKINS
Durable Look and Feel
- Silky feel soft touch
- Long lasting aesthetics with abrasion and UV
resistance
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps
required of silicone skins by overmolding
directly onto the substrate; strong
adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Overmolding TPE removes the need for
mechanical interlocks and primers to get
silicone materials to adhere to substrates

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.
TPU materials are rarely selected for a vehicle’s exterior, but by working together, we were able to overcome several material-related challenges.
