Auto Viscosity Adjust™
iMFLUX is transforming the future of plastic injection molding by improving quality and lowering cost, scrap and downtime. Auto Viscosity Adjust (AVA™) adapts to changing conditions including highly variable post consumer recycle/resin (PCR). AVA provides this sustainability solution at scale, which is unavailable in conventional molding.
DuPont™ Delrin® Renewable Attributed acetal homopolymer
Delrin® RA acetal homopolymer enables sustainable design, high resource efficiency in converting, and a lower total carbon footprint. It is a stiff unreinforced material and is up to 98% renewable*, specified in automotive, consumer, healthcare, and industrial applications, Delrin® RA provides safety, durability, and less waste.

RHOBARR™ 214
RHOBARR™ 214 Emulsion is a food contact approved, waterborne, fluorocarbon-free, bio-carbon containing barrier coating solution for paper packaging for goods ranging from dry food to dryer sheets. It provides oil and grease resistance (OGR) with ~66% less material than incumbent extruded coatings and enables OGR packaging to finally be recyclable.
Spies Hecker® Full Waterborne Repair System
Axalta’s Spies Hecker® Full Waterborne Repair System is the first paint offering for the collision repair market where all coatings layers (from primer to clearcoat) are water-based. This sustainable solution is based on patented technology that provides best-in-class appearance and performance while reducing solvent emissions by more than 60%.
Sustainable End-of-Life Batteries Management
Besides a daily capacity to recycle up to 14 tonnes of lithium batteries, we achieve a recovery rate in excess of 95% and a purity level yield of almost 99% and delivers a safe and low capital, low energy footprint which is partially powered by solar panels and a 1 MWh energy storage system.
Adaptive Hydro™
Adaptive Hydro™ is a first in class, rapidly deployable, and modular hydropower system designed to electrify NPDs/canal heads without construction or investment in fixed infrastructure. With rapid electrification, Adaptive Hydro™ opens new markets for hydroelectricity and benefits dam/canal owners by providing new no cost/impact revenue.
MaxEff Induction Electric Motor Generator
Our secondary winding circuit regenerates what is typically wasted reactive energy into leading inductive energy. This leading power is utilized within the motor itself and/or allowing it to be called for use outside of the motor. This reduces the amount of power needed from the grid, reduces slip (higher RPM and Torque).
WaterPanel
Cooling towers evaporate huge amounts of water to provide industrial cooling. We have an MIT-developed, patented technology that uses electric fields to charge water droplets in cooling tower plumes and attract them toward collection meshes. We capture virtually all the water in plumes and make clean desalinated water available for reuse.
Digital Tex®: Functional Ink instead of Functional Fabric
Digital Tex®, a functional ink, contains two opposite major functions: water repellent and water wicking, especially vital for sweaty sport activities. This innovative ink is sustainable by reducing 30% chemical additives, lowing 80% water consumption and avoiding 60% carbon emissions compares to traditional methods of functional fabric producing.
