As an alternative to multilayer preforms, this additive can easily be added to PET using a single-stage process that gives identical light blocking performance at a lower machinery cost.

Fluoropolymers are also enabling new technologies: they are used as films that function as a lightweight alternative to glass in solar panels, and to make safe batteries for electric vehicles.

Manufacturing Efficiency: Pultrusion is a continuous process that provides benefits over alternative composite manufacturing methods such as high volume output, lower costs, and faster lead times.

They offer a more sustainable alternative to density modified grades based on prime/virgin polymers. They help to reduce product carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives, reduce waste, and support the circular economy. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Customized density offering a wide range of specific gravities (1.5–11 gm/cm3) • Formulated with partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance that can be adapted depending on base resin as required • Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and cool touch • Design flexibility and processing ease • Food contact compliance available MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Applications in packaging and consumer goods in which a more sustainable solution is preferred: • Cosmetic caps and closures • Perfume caps • Spirit bottle caps • Luxury boxes • Handles and knobs SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS • Formulated with partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources • Reduces waste and supports the circular economy • Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives • Simplifies manufacturing and lowers cost versus metal PRODUCT BULLETIN CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5077 FD Natural Gravi-Tech BIO RS5200-5001 RS FD Natural Gravi-Tech BIO RS5200-5001 RS FD Natural X1 Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5003 FD Black Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5004 FD Black Gravi-Tech BIO GT5200-5002 FD Black Base Resin Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Bio-based PP Recycled Content/Filler g/cm Mineral Mineral Mineral Metallic Metallic Metallic Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.90 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.5 3.0 AVAILABLE GRADES Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

TRILLIANT™ XR Thermoplastics for Radiation Shielding Trilliant™ XR thermoplastic solutions provide a radiation-shielding alternative to the use of lead in healthcare imaging equipment. Trilliant XR radiation shielding thermoplastics are excellent alternatives to lead. By incorporating this more sustainable alternative, organizations can reduce or minimize the costly record management and reporting requirements for working with lead.
