Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. The resin has a lower tensile modulus than the reinforcement and will fracture at lower loads in this direction. Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

Sustainability remains high on the packaging industry’s agenda and eco-friendly solutions that don't add complexity and cost are winners amongst brands, converters and resin suppliers. These innovative infrared-absorbing additives are added to PET resin at the reactor stage to provide an eco boost during the blowing of container preforms. Improved recyclability for blended resins

With this launch of additional OnColor™ and OnCap™ HC Plus pre-certified additives and colorant formulations, customers will have more resin choices and performance options for a greater range of applications, especially those that require biocompatible solutions. We can now offer expanded resin families that incorporate biocompatible functional additives, in both masterbatch and compounded forms, that meet or exceed industry standards for USP Class VI or ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing.” Expanded resin families able to incorporate biocompatible colorants and additives include nylon, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), and polystyrene.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors added to PET resin, preforms and rPET corrects and reduces the yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. ColorMatrix Optica toners and colorants for enhanced recyclability offer aesthetic as well as processing benefits for PET resin during the manufacture and recycling processes, and further downstream for convertors, bottle blowers and brand owners during packaging production.  Rebuild intrinsic viscosity (IV) to improve resin quality and increase use rates of reclaimed and recycled PET

In addition, we are able to leverage our unparalleled breadth of base resins and additives, including BPA-free, neat resin, and blends, to meet performance targets and establish color aesthetics. Capability to color a multitude of base resins

Composition Novoloid, or phenolic fiber, is a thermoset organic fiber produced from a phenolic novolac resin. The precursor resin is melt-spun in a solution of formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid. Very compatible with thermoset & thermoplastic resins

Masterbatches are based on specific high-quality resin brands, such as Ultem and Siltem. High-temperature colorants for polyetherimide resin Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Bormed™ Resins Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help medical device, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging sectors meet the growing challenges of product consistency, compliance and reliability. They are adapted to your manufacturing process and available as either a ‘ready-to-use’ formulation or a concentrate that is diluted in the Bormed™ resin of choice.

Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin.  Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, allowing end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements. This is the first offering in a planned larger long-fiber composite portfolio based on recycled resin.  

Avient engineers work with customers to develop a specific resin matrix and fiber loading to meet the compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths required. Resin matrix and fiber loading formulated to meet your property requirements Resin Type
