Therma-Tech™ Thermally Conductive Materials: Engineered materials that are lighter than metal and are easier to form, but do not compromise conductivity Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Polymers: Composite materials that provide the look, feel and sound of metal, but deliver the design freedom of a polymer

We can help you identify metal replacement opportunities in electrical, structural and cargo-moving components. Metal isn’t the only solution for high strength anymore.

Replacing painted metal parts with Artisan materials also improves corrosion resistance. 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 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.  

Colors do not contain heavy metals Metal-free formulations to boost color consistency and increase speed to market

Lighter and thinner than metal, our yarns help you conserve valuable space and enjoy greater design flexibility. Plastic, wood, or metal reels are also available.

Luxury cosmetics closures made using Gravi-Tech formulations give customers the texture and weight of metal, while also providing more design freedom than metals.

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.

Special-effect reflective, metallic and gel inks may be used in conjunction with other Libra silicone inks to enhance prints and differentiate designs Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Design flexibility that you can’t find with metal stiffeners, components. Good impact in structural and metal replacement applications
