However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin. When coloring at the press, the carrier is critical for compatibility to mitigate issues with property retention, gloss, and surface issues like streaking.  As mentioned earlier, polyketone is relatively new and not yet as common as traditional engineered resins like nylons or acetal.

The 3D/LDS Edgetek formulations help advanced electronic component manufacturers to miniaturize mechanical and electrical systems for smaller end products, even in high heat manufacturing process, such as Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT), and are commonly used in industries like electronics, automotive and the 5G sector and related infrastructure.

As an inventor,” White said, “handing over your initial idea to a designer is like handing over your child and asking them to take it to college graduation. Tackling a worldwide challenge like this one aligns well with our sustainability goals and commitment to our local and global communities, and we are honored by the recognition that this award from IDSA conveys.” Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Both options give brands and OEMs a pathway to more sustainable plastic products that are greener and perform like their petroleum-based counterparts. Bio-based raw material comes from renewable sources like corn, sugarcane, soy, wood, etc. If you’d like assistance evaluating the pros and cons of using sustainable TPEs in your applications, contact us.
