Styrenic block copolymer (SBC) elastomers are some of the most versatile and easily processed materials in the plastics industry. Most plastics exhibit this characteristic to some extent, but the effects on SEBS/SEPS and SBS/SIS TPEs are more pronounced.

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).

Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives for Plastic Pallet Manufacturer Excelite™ IM Chemical Foaming Additives improved physical properties for plastic pallet manufacturer 

Recently developed Avient technology yields foam with smaller and more uniform cells so that processors can use 10-20% less plastic to create components that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled parts. HYDROCEROL™ chemical foaming agents help to reduce the weight of automotive plastic parts like dashboard carriers, interior trim parts, door panels or glove boxes.

Whether you manufacture appliances, electronics, packaging products, automotive parts, or sporting goods, the right additive can help you combat microbe formation and growth on your product’s plastic surfaces.​ Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial additives provide a proven, effective, durable solution to limit microbe development in finished plastic products.

Technological advancements such as automated material handling systems and RFID tracking in industrial and manufacturing supply chains, as well as increased food safety concerns, are driving a trend among distributors and warehouses to replace traditional wood pallets with more durable and sanitary plastic solutions. Plastic pallet manufacturers are challenged with providing high quality products that can improve unit load ratings and withstand repeated use.

Avient Canada ULC is a leading compounding and distribution company with operations in rigid and flexible Synplast™ synthetic esters (plasticizers), thermoplastic compounds, polymer coating systems, color additive systems, and thermoplastic resin distribution.

Those who also want a low-maintenance space often select vinyl or wood-plastic composites. These new materials are available in a range of gloss levels and use temperatures, and can be used to produce capstock for vinyl, cellular vinyl, or wood-plastic composite profiles, or solid profiles and sheet if needed.
