It permits black polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling recycling. Automatic sorting equipment relies on the reflectance of NIR wavelengths to identify polymers and properly sort packaging waste by plastic material. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

ESC is defined as the premature embrittlement and crack propagation of a polymer part. Ideally, all polymer contacting edges should be round or radiused. Aim for 75% of wall thickness for a low-shrink material, and 50% of wall thickness for a high-shrink material, with a draft angle from ¼° to 1°.

Inks, dyes and integrated polymer-based solutions are examples. Integrated Polymer Based Solutions These overt and covert technologies embed unique identification into the polymer the product is made from.

Complēt™ long fiber reinforced structural thermoplastics and OnForce™ long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites utilize carbon, glass, or specialty fibers in a broad range of thermoplastic polymers to optimize material performance to your application requirements. Pyrolysis removes the matrix polymer of injection-molded specimens to reveal the different internal fiber structure of long glass fiber and short glass fiber parts. With appropriate material selection and part design optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce the weight of components up to 50% compared to aluminum.

Enhancing polymer materials with colorants can: • Differentiate products • Reinforce branding • Evoke emotions • Add value to a commodity item • Promote safety Creative and effective use of polymer colorants, which come in liquid and solid forms, can have an impact all along the value chain.
