The OEM aimed to boost penetration in this market category by creating a new higher-performing mouse that offered added comfort and features aimed at an enhanced user experience. The Avient team worked with the manufacturer to meet specific property needs and developed a customized solution that added soft-touch, ergonomic, and friction-free features.

Adding a TPE texture on an overmolded surface is a good way to improve the product appearance and give it a unique surface experience.  Adding a texture as light as 0.001” can help to hide flow marks, weld lines, and may aid in lowering the cycle time of creating a product.

With this technology, color is added during the production of the synthetic fiber, reducing the number of steps and, as a result, the amount of energy needed to add color. The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.

In the case of recycled grades, fiber manufacturers can use the tracer concentrate pellets earlier in the production process by adding them to the recycled polymer content (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate bottle flakes or shredded nylon fishing nets) prior to being extruded into pellets. For added convenience, they can be combined with color into a single concentrate.

Adding this technology to bottle preforms enables improved recyclability and reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared with reheat-free PET resin for substantial production cost savings.  We currently manufacture Joule formulations at our facility in Suzhou for customers in other countries throughout Asia Pacific, enabling us to go to market in China immediately with local technical support and short lead times,” added Chai.

CLEVELAND, – November 28, 2023 – Avient Corporation, a leading provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today announced it is adding new black colorants to its Renol™ Fiber Colorants portfolio. In this dyeing process, color is added during the yarn manufacturing, which reduces the number of steps and energy used to dye yarn.
