Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics

Gating from the thickest area of your part to the thinnest area of your part is the optimal way to fill, and balancing your runners will create part consistency in all cavities.

We created RAISE to build a community of parents and caregivers at Avient who support and learn from each other.

From labware for diagnostic testing to CT scanners for pinpointing the location of tumors, we continue to help our customers increase the quality of human life.

The Microfibre Consortium (TMC) facilitates the development of practical solutions for the textile industry to minimize fiber fragmentation and release to the environment from textile manufacturing and product life cycle.

As with all engineering and design, quality results from engineering simulation require the right capabilities, expertise, and experience.

With the most recent addition of TPE production, PolyOne enables manufacturers to source all of their specialty polymer requirements from a single domestic source.

From regulatory compliance and quality assurance to manufacturing efficiency and continuous innovation, these are the challenges the global healthcare industry continues to face,” said Say Eng Lee, general manager Color Asia, at PolyOne.

Using a method adapted from ASTM D543 for ESCR (environmental stress cracking resistance), results versus alternative FR materials demonstrate superior mechanical and aesthetic property retention, and prevention of cracks and crazing after exposure to leading healthcare disinfectants* such as Virex® Tb, CaviCide™, Vesphene® IIse and Super Sani-Cloth®¹.

This masterbatch also helps manufacturers transition from a complex polymers-and-textile process to more efficient, single-step molding.”
