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.

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.  

Surround™ EMI/RFI Shielding Formulations are electrically conductive solutions, providing EMI/RFI shielding at a lower weight compared with aluminum, copper and other metals. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

OnColor™ HC Colorants for Healthcare: color concentrates developed to meet or exceed USP Class VI and ISO 10993 and formulated without heavy metals, phthalates and BPA or other requirements as specified       Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

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. 标题：Award-winning furniture from Resol benefits from metal replacement with OnForce™ LFT long fiber solutions from PolyOne.

Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is a metal or other non-compressible material. Due to the tolerance on metal and other non-compressible inserts, it is necessary to include Belleville disc springs (or high tension springs) in the design to prevent flashing of minimal thickness inserts or crushing of oversized inserts.

 •    Specific formulations for pharmaceutical packaging or drug delivery based on ingredients tested to USP661.1, European Pharmacopeia 3.1, and ICHQ3D extractable metals 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

These new toners are formulated without heavy metal or restricted ingredients, and can be used at lower doses in comparison to alternatives like pigment and solid masterbatches. 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

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
