Aliphatic polyketone, often called just polyketone or PK, is a semi-crystalline engineering resin. Sustainability value of eco-friendly resins compared to other engineered resins Watch our free on-demand webinar to learn more about market dynamics, as well as the chemical resistance and eco-conscious benefits of this semi-crystalline engineering resin.

Formulated with bio-based resin and/or 10-50% natural filler Maxxam BIO polyolefins (bio-based resin) Formulations with bio-based polyolefin resin from renewable plant sources

Stan-Tone™ PEP Polyester Dispersions These colorants are highly compatible with polyester systems, reacting to become part of your final cured product.

Available for polyester and polyamide (nylon), including recycled grades – possibility to develop solutions for bio-polymers Discover our color masterbatch portfolio for spun-dyed polyester and polyamide

Provides Visual Clarity for PC Resins Avient’s ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Specialty Toners for PC is the cutting-edge liquid toner for PC resins on the market. Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments helping to retain transparent properties

Avient announces new long fiber reinforced composites formulated with post-industrial recycled resin content, for applications including office furnishings and outdoor adventure gear. This expands the product line that launched earlier this year with PA6 resin derived from reclaimed end-of-life fishing nets.  Formulations also can use varying levels of post-industrial recycled resin content 

Our teams researched the best combination of additive and carrier resin for the application. Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear and opaque resins, the team had to explore two different avenues—one that preserved clarity and one that retained opacity. As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.

Colorant and additive masterbatches created with virgin resin, however, means a package does not reach the full 100% PCR goal.  Replaces virgin resin, reducing total energy consumption and limiting emissions* Add antistatic and UV protection to products built from biodegradable resins.

The first, Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations, is based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. The second, Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-based Formulations, contains bio-based resin from renewable plant sources. Formulated using engineered thermoplastic resins and select metallic fillers, they offer densities similar to traditional metals while providing design and processing flexibility.
