According to several expert projections, the world may produce over 400 million tons of plastic waste annually by 2030. The PCR grade is formulated with recycled ocean plastics from Oceanworks®, an accelerator program participant within the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a non-profit group that includes Avient as a founding member. About Oceanworks Oceanworks® is the global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics.

It works by injecting liquid color at high pressure into the polyester melt-flow between the end of the extruder, or melt-pipe, and the spin head. TECHNICAL ANALYSES • DSC: Thermal analyses to characterize polymers, additives and colorants • TGA: Thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate thermal stability, plus inorganic pigment, and carbon black content in the Masterbatch • FT-IR: Infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of raw materials • Incineration oven to determine inorganic content • Melt Flow Tester to measure the Melt Flow Rate of MBs and Polymers • Filter test to measure the dispersion quality and aggregate content of materials contained in the polymer matrix • Intrinsic/Relative Viscosity of Masterbatches and polymers • Moisture content in the liquid colorants, MBs and polymers • UV-Visible spectrometry: instrumental evaluation of the color on yarn to perform quality control, color matchings and recipes adjustments • Yarn testing to evaluate mechanical properties, abrasion, dry heat, rubbing and other characteristics • Our pilot spinning lines have state-of-the-art take-up winders that spin up to 4,500 meters/minute.
