As drop-in replacements for fossil-based color concentrates, they can be processed the same way and recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polyolefins. Benefits include light weighting, material savings (and therefore reduced consumption of non-renewable resources), faster cycling, and process-energy savings. 

It enables greater recycled content in PET bottles to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainability by improving the thermal stability of PET throughout the recycling process.   SmartHeat RHC improves preform and bottle color, clarity, mechanical strength, and processability.  

In addition to minimizing cross talk between electronic components, Surround material is lighter weight and easier to process than traditional materials such as aluminum or copper. Lighter weight and easier to process than components made from aluminum and copper

Its low glass transition temperature delivers excellent flexibility, good gel condition, and processability. The new series is also compatible with high-speed processing and can be easily customized, giving designers and innovators an edge in product development. 

Avient showcases polymer recycling solutions including Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Enhanced Recycling and ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ liquid dispersion process aids that can improve the recyclability of PET bottles at the Plastics Recycling LATAM Conference in Mexico City This includes Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Enhanced Recycling, Avient’s Color Prediction Service, which digitally illustrates the possibilities of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content in solutions, and ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ liquid dispersion process aids, which can improve the recyclability of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.

Avient’s Color and Additives team will exhibit solutions such as ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ dispersion process aids for improving polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling, Rejoin™ colorants formulated to enable 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging, and Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents for reducing part weights.   This can help brand owners and technical colorists simplify the process of transitioning to higher levels of PCR content, shorten the time-to-launch of new product ranges, and create global color consistency.

GLS recommended a Versalloy™ thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) alloy for excellent surface quality, easy processing with excellent flow, and high tear strength. PTA was pleased with the moldability and processing ease of the Versalloy TPV, which delivers a high-quality surface finish and resists striations that can occur with other elastomers.

Design flexibility and processing ease Technical information, design guides, processing information and more.
