Complēt™ R nylon 6 long fiber composites provide stiffness, strength, and toughness performance on par with standard nylon 6 long fiber formulations using virgin resin, giving these materials the structural capability necessary to be used as an alternative to metals.
Formulations are available globally in a standard black color at typical weight percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations.

Additionally, supply chain issues around pigments, stabilizers and additives that are taken out of production may leave you scrambling for formulation alternatives.
Quality control: When you produce plastisol, you also assume the challenges associated with producing in-spec formulations for your end products to ensure consistent quality, each and every time.

Adding a concentrate (masterbatch) to the natural resin during processing
Pre-colored resins are formulated to an exact target shade, making it possible to create
customized colors.
For amorphous polymers like PSU, the cooling rate in FFF is critical.

During processing, polymers often degrade due to
oxygen and heat exposure which causes such things
as discoloration, gels, and black spots.
Cesa Nox A4R is formulated to help:
• Brand owners who need to maximize their PCR
usage up to 100% to achieve sustainability and
recyclability targets
• Recyclers involved with flake or pellets dealing
with multiple processing defects
• Convertors of bottles, film, and sheet who need
to maintain high-quality levels of PCR
Performance enhancement antioxidants such as
Cesa Nox A4R are valuable for many stakeholders
within the circular economy, and indeed anyone
seeking to achieve high-quality levels in their
recyclate while operating with ever-increasing
quantities of PCR.

Swellcoat™ Water Blocking & Absorbing Yarns
PRODUCT BULLETIN
Swellcoat™ impregnated fibers introduce Super
Absorbent Polymer (SAP) into fiber optic cable
binders, fillers, and buffer threads to create a stable
gel that can absorb up to 100x its weight.
Formulated to
install cleanly and efficiently, they eliminate the
need to deal with messy gels.
Five of Avient’s nearly 50 U.S. facilities currently provide fiber optic cable plastics, polymers,
and components which are ultimately used to enable the expansion of broadband internet access.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-03/CycleWorks Solution Bulletin.pdf
CycleWorks can develop recycling-friendly product
solutions to increase the recyclability of plastic
products and, by understanding the chemistry
of polymers in the mechanical recycling process,
can provide data to help develop new and unique
polymer formulations.
A dedicated team is able to scientifically investigate
details of the recycling process, understand the
degradation and behavior of polymers, and develop
the right additive and color masterbatches to
increase the performance of PCRs and guarantee
high recyclability of the final article.
