The coloration of biodegradable polymers—such
as PLA, PHA, PBAT or blends—requires a careful
selection of pigments that must comply with strict
environmental standards.

For molders, incorporating CFRTP overmolding
capabilities expands their product offering, opening
the door for increased market share.
PROCESSING
While selecting the right material
combination is critical, understanding
how to process the materials is equally
important.

HOW DOES THE
SYSTEM WORK?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-10/Avient Human Right Policy - July 2024.pdf
The Board of Directors
has ultimate responsibility for matters related to governance and corporate responsibility, and the
Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee provides oversight and guidance with regard
to how the Board and management evaluate and integrate corporate responsibility and
sustainability into Avient’s business strategy, decision-making and stakeholder communication,
including this Human Rights Policy.
Regular
engagement with these key stakeholders builds positive community relations, sets the
expectation for open dialogue related to the effectiveness of our policy implementation, and
assists with preparedness and collaboration in the event of an issue in our operations in that
community.

After the substrate has cooled, the mold opens and the movable side of the mold rotates 180° without
ejection of the substrate.
Properly designed deep undercuts however are possible with over-mold
compounds if an advancing core is used when the mold opens and the part does not have sharp corners and
the elastomer is allowed to deflect as it is ejected.
Example applications include handles, grips, bumpers, keypads, and housings on cellular phones, pagers,
PDAs, PCs, laptops, printers, headsets, video, and hand-held computers.

And while underhood elements aren’t classified as appearance parts, the OEM wanted to achieve visual harmony when the hood was opened, so the material also had to match the black of other components in the engine compartment.
This meant that when a prospective customer opened the hood of a vehicle, they would see a single shade of black.
