Many original equipment manufacturers and plastic injection molding companies in the packaging industry are prioritizing the replacement of ABS.
While polypropylene (PP) is widely accepted in the packaging industry, it has higher shrinkage rates than ABS, making it challenging to use as a direct replacement for existing molds.
To enable customers to use their existing ABS molds, Avient has developed new PP-based grades with comparable shrinkage to traditionally used ABS materials.

Orientation of reinforcing fibers within injection molded components also significantly influences composite strength.
Fiber length attrition can occur from shear in the injection molding press or from tight runner radii and improper gating in the mold.
As reinforcements align in the direction of polymer flow as molds fill, this can lead to anisotropic properties.

Their flowability, combined with injection and impact strength, make them a good fit for complex thin-wall moldings while also providing design and processing freedom.
As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.”
Moreover, molded-in colors eliminate the release of potentially hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOC) associated with painting.
