PREPERM™ Low Loss Dielectric Formulations for antennae and base station components. Edgetek™ formulations are used in base station components.

PREMIUM CLOSURES DELIVER AFFORDABLE LUXURY TO THE SPIRITS MARKET CASE STUDY: GRAVI-TECH™ HIGH DENSITY FORMULATIONS Challe nge Accepted. In addition to cost savings, replacing metal would enable the closure producer to provide its spirits customers with customization in density and color, because Gravi-Tech formulations are colorable, and can be tuned to replicate up to 5 times the density of traditional polymers. Choosing Gravi- Tech formulations helped them to show that consumer perception and profitability are not mutually exclusive.

Home // Creating Circular Composites: Challenges and Opportunities for Polymer Materials Engineers In pyrolysis, the polymer matrix is oxidized at temperatures >500°C, recovering energy plus the fibers. In solvolysis, the chain length of matrix polymers is reduced toward monomers while removing the matrix from the fibers so that both the fibers and matrix chemical products can be recovered.

has formulated unique materials that are helping these companies meet those ambitious sustainability targets. Formulations also improve downstream manufacturing and reduce costs for converters, bottle blowers, and ultimately, CPG companies. Future topics will include other timely focus areas, such as formulating with bio-based materials, lightweighting and improving recyclability.

TPEs can incorporate sustainable content in two ways: using either recycled or bio-based content in the formulations. Using recycled content in the formulations can impact colorability and/or surface aesthetics, ultimately influencing material choices made during the design phase. TPEs with recycled or bio-based content can be formulated to enable brands to create more sustainable plastic products.

Part of the Renol™ Fiber Colorants portfolio, Avient’s deep black colorants for spin-dyeing are innovative formulations that provide intense jetness and excellent light and washing fastnesses at a moderate cost compared to other deep black solutions.   By utilizing an optimized concentrate formulation and employing a one-in-one manufacturing and dyeing process, it becomes feasible to attain the desired level of jetness without the need for multiple passes typically required in alternative dyeing methods, such as bath-dyeing. The concentrates can be tailored to achieve the desired level of jetness while also taking into account other considerations such as lot-to-lot consistency, cost, and formulation transfer to different regions and technologies.
