Re-using post-industrial or post-consumer polyester regrind has typically been limited due to the adverse effects of heat and moisture on the virgin resin. Cesa Extend Additives utilize an oligomeric reactant to repair the damage and restore the resin’s Intrinsic Viscosity (IV). Processors can then use higher proportions of recycled resin while maintaining the same processing properties as virgin PET.

Bio-derived dispersions of PVC resins Phthalate-free dispersions of PVC resins Liquid at room temperature, these customized resins can also be toll blended for any application

Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Bormed™ Resins Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help medical device, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging sectors meet the growing challenges of product consistency, compliance and reliability. They are adapted to your manufacturing process and available as either a ‘ready-to-use’ formulation or a concentrate that is diluted in the Bormed™ resin of choice.

PA-6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement. Excellent performance = customer satisfaction: The strength, impact resistance, low warpage and other properties of Bergamid resin helps ensure that HellermannTyton’s part meet stringent OEM requirements. And the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. GlasArmor thermoset panels are constructed from layers of woven e-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary resin system. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.

Avient’s new sustainable solutions are its breakthrough PCR Color Prediction Service for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, and its new polyolefin antioxidants, Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling. Using proprietary software, Avient experts measure resin characteristics to identify the gamut of colors that can be successfully reproduced in a specific PCR-based material. The antioxidant can be added to PCR content early in the recycling process or incorporated in virgin resin to prepare it for future recycling. 

We’re delighted to be introducing our first recycled-content long fiber composite material in a planned larger portfolio based on recycled resin,” said Eric Wollan, General Manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient. Historically, it has been a challenge to source streams of recycled resins that are compatible with the pultrusion process used to manufacture long fiber composites. Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, which allows end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements.  

Omnicolor™ Multipurpose Colorants offered versatile solution across resins and low LDR List with examples of polymer additives and colorants that are suitable for PET resins High-temperature colorants for polyetherimide resin

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. The resin has a lower tensile modulus than the reinforcement and will fracture at lower loads in this direction. Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

Gravi-Tech™ BIO bio-based formulations are density modified engineered polymers that contain partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources. Formulated with partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources Chemical resistance can be adapted depending on base resin as required
