Did you know that with the right formulation, you can achieve properties that are as good or better than that of PA 6,6 using materials such as PA 6, PK, PBT/PET, PP, polymer blends and even post-industrial recycled blends? HOW ALTERNATIVE POLYMERS COMPARE TO PA 6,6 PA 6 | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive, Industrial, Consumer & Sporting Goods Wider processing temperature range Better surface quality Better weathering resistance Shorter conditioning time—nearly half that of PA 6,6 Lower temperature resistance Slightly lower chemical resistance Higher water absorption Lower stiffness/wear resistance PK | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive, Consumer & Sporting Goods, Industrial, Electrical & Electronics Lower CO2 emissions in production Better hydrolysis and chemical resistance Comparable dimensional stability Inherently lubricious for reduced wear and friction Easier to mold Cost competitive Lower short- and long-term thermal performance Harder to color More limited process window PBT/PET | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Electrical & Electronics Lower water absorption Slightly higher rigidity/stiffness (for PBT) Better abrasion resistance Slightly better electric resistance Lower toughness properties Higher density Lower short- and long-term temperature resistance Lower hydrolysis resistance PP | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive, Consumer Goods, Lightweighting Applications Lower water absorption Slightly better chemical resistance Lower density Cost effective Fiber reinforced PP can achieve similar or better mechanical properties to PA 6,6 GF30 Reduced rigidity/stiffness Much lower abrasion resistance Lower electric resistance Reduced short- and long-term temperature resistance PC/PBT & PC/PET BLENDS | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive Interiors, Consumer Goods, Household Appliances Higher impact strength Good scratch resistance Good wear resistance Lower mechanical properties Higher brittleness Narrow processing temperature range PA 6,6/PET BLENDS | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive, Industrial, Appliance, Electrical & Electronics, Applications Where Low Water Absorption is Required Reduced water absorption—up to 40% Slightly higher mechanical properties in the conditioned state Slightly lower temperature resistance Slightly lower chemical resistance Narrow processing temperature range PA/PP BLENDS | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive Interiors, Electronics, Consumer & Sporting Goods Good adhesion to polyolefin-based TPEs Low permeability of water Good processability Lower density Lower temperature resistance Lower mechanical properties POST-INDUSTRIAL RECYCLED SOLUTIONS (PA 6,6/PA 6/PP) | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Automotive Accessories, Industrial, Consumer & Sporting Goods Between 50-80% recycled content Good processability Cost effective Reduced chemical resistance Wider range of mechanical specifications Potential for slightly lower mechanical properties 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

With its unique formulation, ColorMatrix AAnchor offers improved recyclability, reduced regulatory risk, and enhanced bottle quality, making it an ideal solution for brands looking to incorporate higher levels of recycled material into their packaging. With new EU regulations regarding primary aromatic amines (PAAs), ColorMatrix AAnchor offers reduced regulatory risk as it will not form PAAs, unlike other ATA-based solutions. CHOOSE COLORMATRIX AANCHOR FOR SUSTAINABLE AND HIGH-QUALITY PET PACKAGING ColorMatrix AAnchor is an innovative solution for the polymer industry, offering a comprehensive solution to enhance the recyclability, quality, and regulatory compliance of PET packaging.

This is an ideal solution for both multi-packs and variety packs.

The existing grips, made out of a rigid polymer, didn’t hug the archer’s hand which could reduce shot accuracy and hinder performance. THE SOLUTION Working with Avient, a long-time supplier and project collaborator, Hoyt engineers explained their performance goals of enhancing accuracy and comfort while maintaining its grip design. They presented Hoyt with a variety of options and suggested Avient’s Versaflex™ soft-touch thermoplastic elastomer as a material solution.

THE SOLUTION Maintaining premium aesthetic standards while lowering processing costs can be difficult. 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. To learn more about Gravi-Tech™ solutions, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit www.avient.com.

Unlike topical finishing treatments, which involve the addition of chemicals in a post-treatment water bath, the additive concentrates are incorporated into the polymer during spinning. Additional solutions can be offered on request for other synthetic fibers such as PLA or TPU. Our experts provide recommendations on the most appropriate solution for the end product and relevant standards.
