Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers integrates directly into plastic materials and migrates to the surface during molding to facilitate a smooth demolding experience. This process can help reduce cycle times and boost productivity by reducing demolding times and protecting the mold and the manufactured plastic parts while utilizing an alternative to PFAS-based additives. Limiting Damage: By acting as a lubricant, Evoluscend™ additive can help limit mold damage, supporting the longevity and quality of the mold and the plastic products

The growing adoption of plastics with PCR content by Asian automakers in the past decade, especially for interiors, has also created a significant rise in demand for PCR-based TPE solutions capable of delivering excellent overmolding results on higher-performing polymers, such as PP,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Our new reSound REC AF 7210 TPE series responds to this trend and addresses upcoming regulatory changes in export markets, such as the European Union, where a newly proposed ELV directive requires high recycle contents for plastic components.
