Glass fiber and glass beads formulations are typically used for injection molding processes where improved dimensional stability is required.
These compounds offer a combination of chemical inertness, high- temperature stability that supports sterilization processes, and excellent low-friction properties inherent in fluoropolymers.
To withstand the high temperatures of the sintering step in the PTFE process, Colorant Chromatics selects the appropriate heat-stable pigments. • 10 standard colors • All colors are heavy metal-free • Special color matches can be done upon request using Pantone® or RAL color standards • Customized pigment loadings can be provided to address specialized coloration needs • Functional additives can be provided to address tailored properties Let-down ratios and specific processing suggestions are provided in the product data sheet available from your Avient representative.

TECHNICAL SERVICES Avient Long Fiber Technologies Application Development SUCCESS.
This includes physical testing, rheological behavior, thermal and moisture examination, microscopy, flammability testing, and weathering/UV exposure (QUV and Xenon Arc).
With these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with recommending the following characteristics that make up your customized solution: • Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene, rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc.) • Fiber selection (i.e., glass, carbon, etc.) • Fiber reinforcement percentage (ranging from 20–70% fiber content, by weight) • Additive technologies (color, UV enhancement, flame retardancy, heat stabilization, etc.)
