The resulting custom-formulated materials – both TPEs and thermoplastics – will be based on Oceanworks Guaranteed* base resins. Oceanworks conducts third-party testing through its laboratory partners to confirm resins are contamination free and processing parameters are met. The marketplace offers 100s of ocean and averted plastic resins, textiles, and products from trusted suppliers worldwide.

Masterbatches are based on specific resins from several major producers. High-temperature colorants for polyphenylsulfone resin Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Avient’s composite tapes combine thermoplastic resins with unidirectional and engineered fibers to create continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide superior strength-to-weight ratio and high performance for reinforcement across a broad range of applications. The breadth of the materials includes Polystrand™ unidirectional tapes made with continuous glass fiber and an expanding variety of resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyketone (PK), polyamide (PA), and others, and Fiber-Line™ engineered fiber tapes, made using uniquely processed fibers including carbon, glass, and aramid. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.  

These additives provide high-contrast, permanent, and repeatable surface marks on resin materials. They are antimony-free and can be custom formulated for specific resins and laser types. Our additives are created to work seamlessly with a variety of resins and laser types for optimal performance.
