They achieve comparable performance to standard polyolefins, while offering a more sustainable alternative with a lower product carbon footprint.  Explore a new sustainable alternative for PA66 glass fiber-filled materials

This is causing processors to search for non-PFAS alternatives.   At the show, Sean Bernhardt, Senior Research and Development Manager, Color, Additives, & Inks, Americas at Avient, is presenting “PFAS Alternatives: 2024  and Beyond,” including the Cesa Non-PFAS Process Aid, on May 7 at 3 p.m. and May 8 at 1 p.m.

Introduced in March 2015, these sustainable formulations—with at least 30% engineered natural fiber by weight—offer an alternative to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds, with comparable mechanical properties at 5-10% lower density. By collaborating, PolyOne and selected developers have succeeded in establishing a time- and cost-saving means to produce the 3D-MIDs serving as heat sinks in LED lighting, which could prove an alternative to the complex printed circuit boards now fairly ubiquitous in these applications.

However, our long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic solutions are a perfect alternative due to their low specific gravity and robust performance.  Explore why metal is used today and why design engineers are considering changes and LFT alternatives.

The new Edgetek™ ET8900 CR series formulations feature outstanding chemical and crack resistance to common consumer disinfectants versus conventional alternative polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and PC/PBT. Results showed that these materials provide better chemical resistance and property retention versus conventional PC blend alternatives after exposure to common consumer disinfectants, including Lysol® all-purpose cleaner, Formula 409® heavy duty degreaser, and Clorox® disinfectant wipes.
