The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.

These sustainable materials are also customizable, but changes to color or formulation to achieve application-specific needs will require the product carbon footprint to be recalculated. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Negative, neutral, or low PCF • Available in 60 and 80 Shore A • Performs like traditional TPEs • Naturally opaque and easy to color • Suitable to injection mold, or overmold onto PP and PE MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The portfolio of reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs is ideal for brand owners and manufacturers who prefer to use a more sustainable material in personal care, household appliance, consumer electronics, and consumer packaging applications.

In addition to cost savings, replacing metal would enable the closure producer to provide its spirits customers with customization in density and color, because Gravi-Tech formulations are colorable, and can be tuned to replicate up to 5 times the density of traditional polymers.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Light Stabilizers for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Non UV-stabilized fibers exposed to sunlight can suffer color fading and molecular changes that degrade their chemical and mechanical properties, leading to fraying and breakages. KEY BENEFITS Avient’s UV stabilizers for fibers provide the following benefits: • High active ingredient loading options available • Little or no effect on processing speeds so plant productivity can be maintained at the highest levels • Resistance to interaction with fertilizers, pesticides and bleaching agents in the manufacturing and end-use environment • Can be combined with colors and with other additives (e.g., flame retardants) into a single combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance and technical assistance from our experts PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
