An electric car does not even have engine noise to drown out those bumps, squeaks, and rattles. And because they’re formulated with lubricious additives, routine maintenance using oils and greases is ancient history.  Learn more about the solutions that bring this idea to life: LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations

Maxxam FR formulations are an ideal choice for a variety of applications which require specific flame retardant performance in a wide range of industries including consumer, electrical and electronic, transportation, industrial equipment and medical devices. Custom products can be formulated with recycled PP and PE. Avient makes no warranties or guarantees respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application.

Carbon fiber is known for its strength, toughness, vibration damping, and electric conductivity, while fiberglass offers excellent mechanical and insulative properties. Glass fiber-reinforced composites are also used in other electrical transmission and distribution applications such as insulators, arresters, and pole line hardware. At Avient we have experts in a wide spectrum of materials to point you in the right direction. 

Fluoropolymers are also enabling new technologies: they are used as films that function as a lightweight alternative to glass in solar panels, and to make safe batteries for electric vehicles. Adding to their versatility, formulations can be designed using colors and specialty additives to meet specific needs.   Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.

Avient will exhibit newly launched OnColor™ Durable Orange Nylon Colorants for high-voltage electric vehicle (EV) connectors. Avient also will be exhibiting the expanded launch of PTFE-Free LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations to Asia. Initially launched in Europe in 2023, these grades extend Avient’s LubriOne™ Formulations portfolio and are made without fluorinated lubricants such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards. Subsequent studies then assessed the use of an antimicrobial additive, zinc pyrithione (ZPT), for potential efficacy in a variety of TPE formulations for diverse applications.
