Collaborating to Reduce Plastic Ocean Waste Avient collaborates with Hager Group and Plastic Bank to help reduce ocean-bound plastic waste  Versaflex™ HC Material for Biopharmaceutical Tubing

GLS™ TPEs with imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth to protect finished plastic parts Learn about overmolding, material selection to enhance function, and design considerations that can help you address challenges and delight customers Cesa™ WithStand™ Antimicrobial Additives give your plastic products an added layer of defense against microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and fungi.

In addition to color matching across different polymers, we can also match in plastic the color of other materials used in the appliance (e.g., painted parts) or in other products to achieve a homogeneous look across all product line items. Sortable Black Colorants Black plastic can be challenging to detect by infrared sensors during the sorting process resulting in the plastic being directed to waste instead of the relevant recycled polymer stream. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany – October 15, 2024 – Avient Corporation will exhibit its latest sustainable and specialized materials solutions and services for the plastics industry, including two new product launches, at the 29th Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, held today through October 19, 2024. Fakuma, the world’s leading trade fair for plastic processing, will take place in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from October 15-19, 2024. Material experts from Avient will be at booth 5106 in Hall B5 to meet with customers and discuss their material challenges.

(API) of Gainesville, Texas, a manufacturer of plastic pipe components, saw an opportunity to design a flapper valve that could improve upon traditional brass valves and enable non-corrosive, all-plastic piping systems. Don Houston of API said, “In addition to all these drawbacks, brass valves have to be joined to plastic piping with steel fittings. However, we didn’t want to make the material any denser than absolutely necessary, as more fillers mean higher costs.

One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. The products help reduce material use by up to 20% depending on part geometry and wall thickness. They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks.

You may also hear these composites described as "plastic composites" or "fiber-reinforced plastic." Advanced composite materials are often used to replace a metal, wood, or other traditional material. While you may also hear these composites described as “plastic composites” or “reinforced plastic,” historically composite materials are most commonly thermoset.
