The plastic mass is then shaped into filaments, spun, and texturized into an already-dyed yarn.

Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics

In synthetic fibers, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material from plastic bottles was the first recycled content used in textile products such as sportswear and technical textiles.

Achieve Sustainability Goals with Plastic

While commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low temperature impact. Automotive: Demand for plastics to handle increasing temperatures due to the proliferation of electronics in engine compartments and tighter spaces. Most high-heat plastics are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential processing issues.

Bio-polymers are already used with success in different plastic products, notably in packaging, but to be used in healthcare applications, they need to be evaluated to the relevant protocols to support regulatory compliance of the end article. Avient provides pre-tested color and additive concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize the risk of non-compliance and support a more sustainable profile for plastic products used in the healthcare industry. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives for automotive interiors Plastics can attract dust particles, creating an unattractive smudgy film on their surface. Plastic parts in the passenger compartment develop electric charges as people get in and out of the vehicle and air circulates through the ventilating/air conditioning system. They bind themselves to the plastic in a three dimensional network so they do not contribute to VOC emissions.

BIO-BASED SOLUTIONS Bio-polymers are already used with success in different plastic products, notably in packaging, but to be used in healthcare applications, they need to be risk-assessed. REDUCED MATERIAL USE Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) Mevopur CFA products are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and of polymer solutions for healthcare applications. They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks.
