Scoarste will explain how to determine the right material and process from the start in order to reduce design iterations, mitigate risk, and improve manufacturability. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Learn more about polyketone, how it compares to nylons, its sustainability value, and potential applications in this free on-demand webinar Find out how Avient helped L'Oréal achieve color consistency across their global PCR packaging with the PCR Color Prediction Service. Learn how Versaflex™ Soft-Touch Thermoplastic Elastomers enhanced accuracy and comfort while maintaining grip design for archery bow

We’ve developed the GLS™ line of thermoplastic elastomers from a wide range of technologies to suit an even wider variety of purposes. Learn what they are, how they perform, and why to choose bio-based or recycled content From the Knowledge Base

This article will explore how they can provide several sustainable advantages compared to traditional IBC containers, including space & cost savings, waste reduction, and enhanced safety.

They should be located at the end of flow or around the perimeter of the part, if possible.  If a matte finish is required, a rougher mold texture should be used (or a GLS product such as GLS Versalloy™ TPV Alloys, which naturally produce a matte surface).

Bridging from the EverMinds™ platform, Borealis and Avient recently completed a joint application study investigating how to optimize color matching when using post-consumer recycled material (PCR) in rigid packaging applications. Those components include Borcycle M 100% recycled polypropylene (rPP) from Borealis in tandem with colorant formulations from Avient along with Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service, which could digitally illustrate the colorant formulations that are possible. This collaborative study with Borealis is one way in which we can transfer our know-how to our value chain partners to help with closing the loop on plastics circularity.”

No matter how many times you expose TPEs to sufficient heat they will become soft and re-harden when cool. Check avient.com/tpeknowledgecenter to explore the possibilities. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.
