In addition, several blends of the above polymers such as
PC/ABS, PC/PETG, PC/PBT and PPO/PS have great commercial importance for several applications.
Peel ABS (N/mm) 2.72
Type of Failure C/A
GLS285-085 is an overmold TPE which requires no drying and bonds to ABS, SAN and ASA with very good
adhesion after insert molding as measured by the 90° peel test and illustrated in Figure 3.
Optimal adhesion values are also obtained for
overmolds onto PC (Lexan), ABS (Cycoloy), PC/ABS(Cycolac) and PC/PBT (Xenoy) as demonstrated in Figure
5.

This not only reduces waste but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions and offers opportunities for carbon capture.
Likewise, utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials as composite components can significantly reduce the carbon footprint* of those composites.
Conducting a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis is essential to making informed choices

The filler is sourced from plant waste that would otherwise be landfilled, which in turn would create methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.
The new bio-filled polymer from Avient has enabled us to reduce the carbon footprint of a range of our products by reducing the consumption of petroleum-based polymers.
