Utilizing the Social Plastic from Plastic Bank, two new Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations were developed, one in each RAL color requested. The new grades were formulated to provide a functional replacement for the previous used prime materials while incorporating 50% recycled ocean- bound plastic content. Avient is pleased to have been part of the collaboration between Plastic Bank and Hager Group, helping one of its recognized customers move towardsreaching its sustainability goals by transforming discarded ocean-bound plastic into high-performance polymers.

Polyester is a favored polymer to recycle and reprocess in different industries and this is also the case for the fiber industry. The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes chain extenders specially formulated to help recouple depolymerized polymer chains and support a more stable processing of recycled flakes into fibers. They are added during polymer processing in the spin-dyeing process, thus eliminating the need for additional extrusion or polycondensation steps.

Smartbatch™ Fabric FX Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance of textile. For manufacturers who currently bond textiles to polymer surfaces, this solution gives applications comparable aesthetics but at a significantly lower total cost, and without the logistics and processing hassles associated with bonding textiles to polymers. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Fabric FX can be formulated to include properties such as UV color protection and anti-scratch performance • Fabric FX can be processed on standard molding machinery • Different matrix materials can be enhanced with Fabric FX, including ABS, PC/ABS, PB, and unfilled or talc-filled PP • There is no limitation on the graining that can be used; the fabric effect will differ depending on the grain effect engraved in the tool • If parts are extruded or a mold is not engraved, final parts will have an attractive speckled appearance, but will not be textured TYPICAL USES Fabric FX concentrates are suitable for any application that could benefit from an enhanced textile-like appearance.

What our customers will see: In mid-April 2014, our newly formulated or significantly reformulated U.S. and European solutions will be accompanied by a new GHS-formatted MSDS (CLP classification in Europe). Because our system generates new SDS documents when there is a significant formulation or regulatory change, not all products will be accompanied by a new format SDS immediately. As new formulations are developed, the new format will be employed, and a GHS SDS will be generated and sent, replacing the previous MSDS in our system.
