Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. The resin has a lower tensile modulus than the reinforcement and will fracture at lower loads in this direction. Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin.  Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, allowing end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements. This is the first offering in a planned larger long-fiber composite portfolio based on recycled resin.  

L’Oréal recently expressed the need for a tool to help simplify the process of developing color with recycled resin. The PCR Color Prediction Service is Avient’s breakthrough digital tool for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, launched in June 2022. Having identified optimized colorants for the packaging of the Redken line worldwide, Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service helped L’Oréal simplify overall color development with recycled resin.

Avient engineers work with customers to develop a specific resin matrix and fiber loading to meet the compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths required. Resin matrix and fiber loading formulated to meet your property requirements Resin Type

Edgetek™ REC PC Recycled Content Polycarbonate Solutions As consumer demand for more sustainable, eco- conscious products grows along with regulatory pressure, Edgetek™ REC PC formulations can help brand owners deliver on their sustainability goals.

TPE suppliers have responded developing a variety of compounds with the attributes to bond to several engineering plastics such as nylon (PA), polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys This paper elaborates different TPE technologies developed to bond to various rigid substrates i.e. Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys Introduction A wide variety of thermoplastic materials are used to make molded products. The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants have received APR Meets Preferred Guidance for packaging applications using HDPE resin. With the recognition, OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants are preferred for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin in black and dark colors, according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability. In addition, testing is underway to support an application for MPG recognition for the same colorants for polypropylene resin (PP).

Made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefin as a carrier resin, Rejoin PCR Masterbatch can enable a bottle or part to be manufactured from 100 percent PCR.  Until now, masterbatch has generally been made using virgin material as a carrier resin. We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.

PA-6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement. Excellent performance = customer satisfaction: The strength, impact resistance, low warpage and other properties of Bergamid resin helps ensure that HellermannTyton’s part meet stringent OEM requirements. And the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.
