Some common manufacturing options are pultrusion, resin injection, resin transfer molding (RTM) and filament winding. Design flexibility — Composites can be molded into complex shapes and textures at a relatively low cost. To start, it’s best to know the kind of environment in which your product will be and what kind of properties you need (e.g., heat or water resistant, hard or soft, color).

Polymer science, industry-leading expertise with colors and additives, and our in-house color design service make us a powerful collaborator during bottle design, manufacturing, and product marketing. With our color and design support, your bottle can get noticed quickly. ACHIEVING BOTTLE OPTIMIZATION Avient can support every type of bottle blow- molding application.

Two-shot molding increases efficiency, reduces scrap, saves $55,000 annually The company foresaw that integrating this step into the molding process for the saw housing would cut assembly time and overall costs.  Overmolding instead of standalone molding streamlined production and eliminated secondary assembly steps.

Due to the commingled nature of the recycled stream for PCR raw material, the application will typically need to be a darker color such as black or dark gray Black is the easiest color to achieve consistently  Color at the press and pre-colored solutions are possible

Moreover, coloring processes for dark recycled material can be challenging due to the need for high amounts of colorant to overcome the PCR base color.  The study also demonstrated that using Borcycle M grades along with Avient’s OnColor™ near-infrared (NIR) detectable colorants can produce a recyclable, neutral black which enables better automatic sorting for recycling. This solution helps to prevent downcycling of darker and black PCRs based on their color and maintains their value in the recycling stream. 

The activation changes the molecular structure of these additives, causing a color change that provides the vivid contrast of laser marking. The mark can be white or dark in color. Avient has experience formulating Cesa Laser Marking Additives that can work with a wide variety of polymers and processes, including injection molding, blow molding and extrusion.

Hydrocerol improved productivity up to 20% due to lower cycle times and processability on different injection molding units. Using Hydrocerol with core-back molding technology, a process in which the mold is opened slightly to further reduce pressure and allow the foam core to expand, Avient helped the customer leverage density reduction to lower finished part weight.
