Once encapsulated in the plastic, however, the compound pellets can easily be fed into an extruder or molding machine. Minimize equipment wear by using hardened or abrasion-resistant materials and coatings for extruder barrels and screws and mold tools. Use an extruder feed throat that is 2 feet 6 inches long or longer to avoid bridging, and use general purpose metering screws (not mixing screws) with deep flights.

Avient's capstock solutions pair with traditional wood plastic composite (WPC) materials as a substrate for a durable outer layer, resulting in an ultra-low maintenance end product. Available for a variety of applications and uses, including: injection molded accessories, wood plastic composite solutions, outdoor furniture, and co-extruded capstocks.

Versaflex™ PF is a co-extruded tack layer for surface protective films. Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially developed for the manufacture of co-extruded surface protective films Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially developed for the manufacture of co-extruded surface protective films

Plastics and Rubber Thailand 2024 to Include Avient's Showcase of Specialty and Sustainable Materials. Versaflex™ PF TPEs: specially developed to create a co-extruded tack layer for surface protective films that can be easily applied and maintain tack with minimal build, peel smoothly during removal, and remove entirely with little to no residue or ghosting. Avient is exhibiting at Plastics and Rubber Thailand 2024 from May 15-18, 2024, in Hall 100, Stand AD07.

The injection takes place between the end of the extruder, or melt-pipe, and the spin head. Multiple color productions – several injection points possible on a single extruder​ Rapid color changes: No extruder contamination and easy color-on, color-off operation increases color change speed

We have modified the existing ASTM D903 method for plastics in order to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPEs onto rigid thermoplastic.
