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.

Performance advantages: • High dielectric strength: composite material is custom formulated to optimize electrical properties resulting in exceptional insulation • Lightweight: insulators are up to 80% lighter than porcelain and utility poles are more than 50% lighter than wood equivalents • High strength: high tensile, compressive, flexural and inter-laminar shear strength to support various design configurations and line loads • Resilient: deflect and return to original shape for structural damping to minimize damages and outages • Durable: insulators are durable and shatter resistant vs. ceramic and glass; composite utility poles are UV corrosion resistant for a long service life Arrestors Electrical Transmission & Distribution Applications COMPONENT DESCRIPTION SIZES Insulators for transmission and distribution Suspension insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 0.625" to 1.25" diameter Line post and station post insulators Epoxy/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 4.74" diameter Arresters Cage type Polyester or vinyl ester/glass fiber rods 0.125" to 0.50" diameter Custom tubular Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy/ glass fiber custom shapes 2.0" to 6.0" envelope size Pole line construction Conductor standoff and equipment support arms Polyester/glass fiber rods 1.50" to 2.00" diameter Guy strain insulators Polyester/glass fiber rods 0.50" to 0.812" diameter Cross arms Tangent and deadend, support braces Polyester/glass fiber rectangular tubes 3.62" x 4.62" and 4.0" x 6.0" rectangular Utility poles GridCore™ Composite Utility Poles Polyester/glass fiber hollow custom tubes 12" to 14" diameter, typical lengths from 35' to 75' Pole line construction, cross arms, rods, and utility poles feature an integral fabric surfacing veil for long-term weather resistance and retention of properties.

Bottles and closures have traditionally been made using virgin resin. Injection and fill pressures will be different with PCR versus virgin resin due to viscosity inconsistencies of the PCR  Incorporating PCR into closures is reported to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 71% over the use of virgin resin¹.

Traditional GRP is composed of high strength E-glass fibers impregnated with a variety of specialized proprietary resins. Our resin chemistry is optimized for process conditions, fiber adhesion, and end-use application of the FRP. Common resins include MDPE, HDPE, PVDF, PVC and Nylon.

A Digital Service To Support PCR Resin Coloration Discover our digital color prediction service for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins that uses sophisticated technology to illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR. Created a process with L’Oréal to overcome PCR coloring challenges and simplify recycled resin coloration for global consistency

Working with virtually any thermoplastic base resin, we offer a complete line of existing plastic formulations for a comprehensive set of performance requirements. Bergadur™ Polyester Formulations

Pultrusion is the process of impregnating and curing fibers in a resin system to form a rigid rod. Resin impregnated fibers are chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly crosslinked thermoset matrix. Common resins include MDPE, HDPE, PVDF, PVC and Nylon.
