THE SOLUTION Avient recommended Bergamid™ B70 G30H black TM-X PA 6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement for its excellent mechanical properties and cost benefits. HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard black color. Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

PSU resin has the lowest temperature requirements, but provides the highest clarity. FEATURES AND COLORS PSU, PES and PPSU masterbatches are manufactured using 100% prime virgin resin. Ten standard colors are available for each type of resin.

Rigid substrates include polypropylene(PP), polyethylene (PE), amorphous polar plastics such as polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene(HIPS), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), semicrystalline polar plastics such as polyester (PET, PBT) and Polyamide (Nylon 6, Nylon 66). They include amorphous polymers such as polystyrene (PS), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), Polycarbonate (PC), Acetal (POM), PC/ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polyphenylene oxide (PPO), Noryl® (a miscible blend of PS and PPO), and PC/PETG.

Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density modified engineered polymers based on recycled resin and/or recycled filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Customized density offering a wide range of specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3) • Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR sources • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance can be adapted depending on base resin as required • Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and cool touch • Design flexibility and processing ease 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 recycled resin from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including ocean bound plastic waste • Reduces waste and supports the circular economy • Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives • Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs versus metal PRODUCT BULLETIN CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC-CI GT5200-5089 PT Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5075 Black X2 Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5078 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5079 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5060 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5057 Black Base Resin Ocean Bound rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP Recycled Content/Filler g/cm >98% PIR+PCR 60% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR+PCR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.9 2.0 CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5034 X2 FD Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5036 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5025 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5032 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5031 Black Base Resin ABS rABS/ABS rABS rPA6 rPA6 Recycled Content/Filler g/cm 50% PIR/Mineral 65% PIR/Mineral 10% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.5 1.5 2.2 2.7 2.8 AVAILABLE GRADES Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

SELECTION GUIDE reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers Post-industrial and post-consumer recycled TPEs To help brands reach their sustainability goals, reSound™ REC post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post- consumer recycled (PCR) TPE formulations utilize 9–83% recycled content. reSound REC TPEs can be overmolded onto polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and PC/ABS blends, and are suitable for injection molding.

Then, the team researched the best combination of additive and carrier resin for the application. As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins. Coupled with their ability to be used across a variety of different resins, these antimicrobial additives provide significant value.

Within this overlapping image of a part that is pre and post pyrolysis (burning away of the resin) you can see the well-defined skeletal structure created by the long fiber material – imperative to the success of the high impact properties achieves When selecting an appropriate long fiber composite, verify that the matrix resin is compatible with the intended usage environment and operating conditions your application will be used in, even if it’s intermittent exposure, to ensure compatibility with life cycle expectations. Polymer flow enhancers and optimized processing produce smooth, resin-rich surface finishes free of visible fibers.
