POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – 2023年7月18日 – Avient Corporation today announced it is expanding the manufacturing of its UL-certified Syncure™ XLPE Cross-Linkable Polyethylene Formulations to Europe, helping to reduce lead times for global customers and support sustainable infrastructure.     As the global demand for these important formulations grows, it is increasingly imperative for us to serve our customers with local manufacturing,” says Holger Kronimus, vice president and general manager for Specialty Engineered Materials in Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and India at Avient, “By expanding the production of Syncure formulations to Europe, we can improve supply security and help reduce leads times for customers in the EMEA region and India.” 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 

Adding this technology to bottle preforms enables improved recyclability and reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared with reheat-free PET resin for substantial production cost savings.  Inherent blue toning properties help reduce the appearance of yellowing to maintain clarity, while the additive also retains its reheat capability even after long-term recycling.

This helps manufacturers reduce the risk of film residue and create a better customer experience within high-end markets. Compared to current solvent-based coating technology, co-extrusion film has significantly reduced volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs) and helps reduce energy consumption and emissions by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations.

Mevopur™ Nucleation Additive Concentrates help produce thinner walls in polyolefin applications while maintaining mechanical properties and reduce Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in HDPE. Mevopur™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) enable reduced material use, while meeting regulatory requirements for medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging. WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology provides antimicrobial and antifungal additives that reduce bacterial, mold and fungal growth in finished plastic parts used in hospital surfaces.

Replace Nylon, Reduce Carbon Footprint Reduced carbon footprint over PA66 and PA6 Reduce friction, noise, vibration and heat buildup with these wear-resistant formulations

Dissipate Heat, Reduce Weight Uniform heat dissipation and reduced hot spot formation Reduced total program life costs compared to aluminum

Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions: include color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70-95 percent bio-content and pre-tested raw materials to help reduce carbon footprint. They also eliminate the need for secondary coating or wetting processes to achieve equivalent performance while reducing production costs.

Learn how a pipe liner helped a major equipment manufacturer and customer extend the longevity of a piping system and reduce exposure to unsafe chemicals. The liner effectively extended the useful life of the piping systems and reduced exposure to unsafe chemicals.

Following China’s legislation of Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) regulations in 2017, global OEMs are increasingly focused on reducing the level of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), fogging and odor in new vehicles. Maxxam™ helped the customer reduce the VOCs and fogging in their newly launched models by up to 80%, without compromising desired mechanical property or surface finish.

Our sustainable solutions portfolio helps our customers to solve complex sustainability challenges, including enabling the use of more recycled content, or biopolymers, sustainable infrastructure, human health & safety, lightweighting, reducing volatile organic compounds, reducing energy usage, and offering eco-conscious solutions.
