We’re delighted to be introducing our first recycled-content long fiber composite material in a planned larger portfolio based on recycled resin,” said Eric Wollan, General Manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient. Historically, it has been a challenge to source streams of recycled resins that are compatible with the pultrusion process used to manufacture long fiber composites. Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, which allows end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements.  

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. GlasArmor thermoset panels are constructed from layers of woven e-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary resin system. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. The resin has a lower tensile modulus than the reinforcement and will fracture at lower loads in this direction. Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin. These resin sources provide sustainable options for applications that require excellent structural and toughness capabilities while offering comparable performance to standard long fiber materials.

Only the required quantities of masterbatches and base resins need to be stored which reduces the risk of slow-moving stocks. Recycled Content & Recyclability We offer color concentrates that use post-consumer recycled (PCR) polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) as carrier resin. We offer near-infrared (NIR) black and dark colorants for polypropylene and polyester that help detect and sort the plastic into the relevant polymer stream.

Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin.  Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, allowing end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements. This is the first offering in a planned larger long-fiber composite portfolio based on recycled resin.
