CLEVELAND – October 10, 2022 – Avient Corporation today announced it will highlight its breadth of composite solutions, including new materials formulated with recycled content, at the upcoming Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX). Featured at CAMX is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin. 

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.
