Broadening Avient’s portfolio of protective materials, Polystrand™ ThermoBallistic™ ballistic-resistant composite panels are compression molded panels made with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems that offer a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins.

Rejoin™ Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Colorants use PCR content as a carrier resin, allowing for 100% PCR packaging with color for bottles and parts. PCR Color Prediction Service illustrates the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and PET resins.

CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced that its ColorMatrix business has licensed the right to manufacture, market and sell a high-performance light blocking technology for liquid dairy packaging from leading PET resin and concentrate manufacturer Novapet. With three PET production plants, the Company manufactures over 260,000 tons of PET resin annually and more than one billion preforms for food and beverage containers.

At the event, Avient will feature its latest polymer additive innovations for post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins, such as recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and polyolefins. PCR Color Prediction Service: a digital tool that can illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials, which can help simplify the overall color decision-making process during product development and launch

Secondly, the use of the polyketone base resin offers a reduced product carbon footprint (PCF) compared to competitive nylon (PA) base resins (PA), helping to improve sustainability throughout the product life cycle.

The use of 2K (two-component) molding – in which the base resin is injected and allowed to set up for a short time, and then is overmolded by injecting the TPE – streamlines the manufacturing process. It required a high temperature and a strong injection pressure to bond to the acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene (ABS) substrate, which caused the resin to deform.

   Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.    A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed

Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.
