Electrical and Power Installation Systems
Advanced Materials for a Connected, Regulatory-Compliant Built Environment
From electrical infrastructure to power management and control, the materials used in electrical and power systems can determine how well buildings perform for decades. As building regulations tighten and connected technology becomes the norm, the right material choice at the specification stage can make all the difference.
Avient offers advanced material solutions engineered for every layer of the electrical and power supply chain, including:
- wire and cable to power distribution
- charging infrastructure
- data centers
- photovoltaic systems
Meeting Demanding Regulations and Performance
Avient’s portfolio includes UL-recognized materials and UL 94-rated colorants developed to meet stringent flame-retardancy requirements, along with solutions that enable light transmission, high-temperature performance, and durability in demanding environments such as commercial construction and critical grid (CCG) applications.
Specialized Electrical Performance Solutions
Avient also supports applications requiring specialized electrical performance — including insulative, conductive, and dissipative materials — to help manage electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), while enabling electromagnetic discharge (ESD) control. These capabilities are essential for next-generation electrification, connectivity, and high-performance electronics. With a focus on compliance, reliability, and innovation, Avient helps manufacturers bring high-performance, future-ready electrical components to market with confidence.
