Bio-derived dispersions of PVC resins, they are suitable for multiple manufacturing processes and can be custom-formulated to specific requirements.

They are constructed from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements combined with a proprietary resin system in a continuous pultrusion manufacturing process.

The composite material used to make this part includes a custom-formulated thermoset epoxy resin, which also has good corrosion and chemical resistance.

Supply chain security: The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile and, when supply gets tight, smaller plastisol producers are often affected the most.

Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density modified engineered polymers based on recycled resin and/or recycled filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Customized density offering a wide range of specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3) • Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR sources • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance can be adapted depending on base resin as required • Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and cool touch • Design flexibility and processing ease MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Applications in packaging and consumer goods in which a more sustainable solution is preferred: • Cosmetic caps and closures • Perfume caps • Spirit bottle caps • Luxury boxes • Handles and knobs SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS • Formulated with recycled resin from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including ocean bound plastic waste • Reduces waste and supports the circular economy • Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives • Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs versus metal PRODUCT BULLETIN CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC-CI GT5200-5089 PT Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5075 Black X2 Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5078 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5079 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5060 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5057 Black Base Resin Ocean Bound rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP Recycled Content/Filler g/cm >98% PIR+PCR 60% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR+PCR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.9 2.0 CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5034 X2 FD Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5036 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5025 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5032 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5031 Black Base Resin ABS rABS/ABS rABS rPA6 rPA6 Recycled Content/Filler g/cm 50% PIR/Mineral 65% PIR/Mineral 10% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.5 1.5 2.2 2.7 2.8 AVAILABLE GRADES Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

For all HB references, the color concentrates are listed with reference to resin chemistry, which enables total flexibility of choice for the resin grade. For V-0, V-1, V-2, 5VA and 5VB, the color concentrates have to be listed with reference to specific resin grades. If the required resin is not listed under Avient concentrates, please contact an Avient representative to discuss more options.

Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

A variety of base resins can be used to create Surround formulations to either concentrate (intended to let down at the press) or direct-to-mold fiber loadings.
