PCR Color Prediction Service – winner of the 2023 Re|focus Sustainable Innovation in Design Award and a finalist for the 2023 Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) Product Technology Innovation of the Year Award, this digital service supports PCR resin coloration by illustrating the color possibilities or limitations of certain PCR material before sample development to help simplify the overall decision-making process for brand owners and technical colorists.   With a palette of 20 colors and effects, the guide helps plastic product designers, brand managers, and marketing professionals make more informed color choices.   Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world.

insert or 2K Molding), machine type, process conditions, material preparation, part design and mold design. A combination of novel material technology, part and tool design as well as innovations in overmolding technology will continue to fuel the imagination of the designer community to meet the everdemanding needs in ergonomics, aesthetics and value addition in the consumer market. Unlike conventional part design, two component part designs have to take into consideration shrinkage’s from two different thermoplastic materials.

Design freedom = unique product offering: The ability to injection mold Gravi-Tech materials instead of machining brass enabled API to design a cost-effective, full-opening flapper valve that is 100% pigable Use of existing tooling = lower capital costs: API was able to use the same mold originally designed for nylon to run the Gravi-Tech materials, saving the substantial costs of retooling. Thanks to the customized Gravi-Tech material, API was able to successfully design and mold a flapper valve that is the only one of its kind on the market—and offers a less expensive solution than traditional brass valves.
