More Increasing Supply Security for Medical Plastics Minimize the risk of supply disruptions for healthcare plastic colorants and functional additives More Advanced Composites Explained This comprehensive guide covers everything from the basics of composites to the properties, advantages, and common applications.

FRP pultrusions offer several advantages over traditional materials, like metals, ceramics, and unreinforced plastics. Pultruded composites offer a number of advantages over traditional metals and plastics. 

In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).

TPEs can be used alone, or these softer materials can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic substrate using co-injection or insert injection-molding technology. Specialized chemistries enable TPEs to adhere to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide, and polystyrene, for a seamless and permanent bond.

In addition, organizations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) have emerged to foster meaningful sustainability improvements by mobilizing manufacturers and brands. For example, Avient is a founding member of the AEPW, and also participates in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s UK Plastics Pact.

CORE™ Vinyl Powder Coatings are dry blends of suspension PVC resins that are plasticized for flexibility Phthalates in plastics - knowing the facts

Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
