Avient will feature Remafin™ Fiber Colorants for spin-dyeing polypropylene fibers, filaments, and nonwovens, along with Renol™ Fiber Colorants for polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibers and filaments.

They can be injection molded or overmolded onto polypropylene (PP).

Based on polymers such as polypropylene (PP), the new formulations also include a natural filler made from renewable plant sources that would otherwise go to waste.

These new grades of TPEs, launched earlier this year in Europe, contain 25%-55% post-consumer recycle (PCR) content, complement the existing offering of PCR-based products for polypropylene (PP) overmolding, and are specially developed for automotive interior applications such as mats, grips, and console trays.

There is also a shift from polypropylene (PP) to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) closures, where post-consumer resin is more readily available.

This processing aid, formulated without fluoropolymers, was developed specifically for use in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) applications and enables processing performance comparable to traditional fluoropolymer-based solutions.  

It can be used in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films for flexible packaging, as well as cast PP films and PE tubing for various food packaging applications, such as stand-up pouches, labeling tubes, and laminated tubes.  

The breadth of the materials includes Polystrand™ unidirectional tapes made with continuous glass fiber and an expanding variety of resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyketone (PK), polyamide (PA), and others, and Fiber-Line™ engineered fiber tapes, made using uniquely processed fibers including carbon, glass, and aramid.
