These blends create parts that can withstand higher temperatures than standard PEEK, with better post-processing shrinkage control and improved colorability.     The materials also accept color more readily than standard PEEK formulations, supporting the creativity and branding goals of designers. Because these blends exhibit uniform shrinkage after molding, manufacturers can simplify injection mold construction while still meeting exacting tolerances for plug connectors and other components.

For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding. Avient has developed a "Heat Stability Protocol" to screen new additive solutions for their impact on color and NIAS through two full recycle loops at 100% recycled content. This provides minimal effect on color shift and product safety.

Besides pre-colored options and application-specific surface effects, the new Gravi-Tech materials are available in several special grades for vacuum metallization.   As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.”Moreover, molded-in colors eliminate the release of potentially hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOC) associated with painting.
