Trilliant formulations can be customized to achieve high flow and easy processing, which facilitate efficient molding and part-to-part consistency. An outstanding balance of conductivity, flow, dimensional stability and toughness results in high-quality parts and efficient processing. High flow and easy processing facilitate the filling of thin wall parts and multiple cavity tools, which enable faster cycle times and lower per-unit part costs.

The global preference for plastics in consumer packaging has led to explosive growth and the production of hundreds of millions of containers for different applications per year. Along with the tremendous benefits that plastics bring to society, there is also a responsibility to ensure plastic waste does not end up in the environment. Ultimate is recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and the European PET Bottle Platform for having no negative impact on the recycling stream.

Demand for plastics has become one of the Vietnam economy’s fastest growth areas,” says Say-Eng Lee, vice president and general manager, Color & Additives Asia for Avient. Notably, Avient’s sustainable color concentrates can also support steps within the country to encourage plastic waste recycling and reuse. Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.

Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate. THE IMPACT For the manufacturer, Trilliant™ HC specialty engineered materials provided a number of advantages that contributed to the success of the new product line: • Reduced Cycle Time: The high flow properties of the Trilliant HC formulation allowed the manufacturer to produce warp-free parts that require less packing and cooling time, resulting in a 40% cycle time reduction Increased Production: Additionally, the high flow properties of the Trilliant HC formulation allowed for an increase in the number of cavities in the mold, resulting in a machine cost-per-part savings of over 30%

Evaluation showed an increase in circulation and blood flow velocity after body contacts with warmed fabric.
