Based on static and dynamic data, the virtual simulations can more accurately predict where an injection molded plastic part may crack or break when exposed to physical loading forces or a sudden impact (crash simulation). This enables customers to replace metal with plastic and take advantage of benefits like sustainability through lightweighting, design freedom, and easier processing.”   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Collaborating to Reduce Plastic Ocean Waste Avient collaborates with Hager Group and Plastic Bank to help reduce ocean-bound plastic waste 

a leading manufacturer of food processing equipment, on converting the support yoke of its Quantum™ Motor from metal to plastic. 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  Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.  

This much-anticipated launch will debut at the upcoming International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, Fakuma 2023. This is particularly advantageous for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory, giving them the ability to stockpile large quantities of virgin or recycled resin while ordering flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Cesa™ Laser Additives allow manufacturers to optimize the use of laser technology to create markings or assemble plastic parts.   Laser marking can be used to create unique product codes (UPC) and branding or decorative patterns on different plastics, effectively replacing labels. Supports optimal use of laser technology for marking or welding plastic parts

For example, consider the Airbump® plastic impact panels on the doors and bumpers of the Citroën C4 Cactus. Engineered plastic compounds that can meet or exceed the properties and appearances of metal are creating even more opportunities for plastic parts to take over as an incumbent material.
