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.

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.

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. Sustainability Spotlight Recycle Solutions KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Designed for polyolefin recycling and to enhance circularity • Protects polyolefins against degradation caused by oxygen and heat during processing • Provides improved stability against oxygen degradation and discoloration • Stabilizes the polymer to reduce creation of new gels and black spots • Excellent performance at low dosage levels MARKETS & APPLICATIONS • Recycled polyolefins • Packaging, consumer & others • High-value polyolefin applications with recycled material content • Virgin polymers which will be recycled after the use phase Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

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. If cooling is too slow, adequate solidification may not take place, which could result in a deformed or collapsed part. https://www.solvay.com/sites/g/files/srpend221/files/2018-11/Additive-Manufacturing-Filaments-Processing-Guide_EN-v1.1_0.pdf High-temperature polymer formulations provide robust material performance at elevated temperatures, even those in excess of 300°F (150°C).

Formulations are heavy metal free and manufactured using state- of-the-art pigment dispersion techniques that improve homogenization and color distribution during injection molding. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Consistent coloring and improved homogenization with the polymer offer more efficient processing and waste reduction • Opaque PEI masterbatches available with shorter lead times and a range of readily available standard colors • Minimum order quantities as low as 5kg (10 lbs) for improved inventory control • Robust colorant formulations mean no disruptions to existing molding processes, allowing manufacturers to bring products to market faster and without investing in new machinery FEATURES AND COLORS PEI colorants are manufactured using 100% prime virgin PEI resin.
