How do they differ from commodity or engineered resins?
Semi-crystalline resins have a sharply defined mp and Tg.
However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC).

Aliphatic polyketone, often called just polyketone or PK, is a semi-crystalline engineering resin.
Sustainability value of eco-friendly resins compared to other engineered resins
Watch our free on-demand webinar to learn more about market dynamics, as well as the chemical resistance and eco-conscious benefits of this semi-crystalline engineering resin.
https://www.avient.com/crtm-panels-0
CRTM™ (continuous resin transfer molding) panels are high quality composite sandwich panels with tailored, multi-axial fiber reinforcements, high-fiber volume contents and very low void content.
Laminate skin face-sheets are also available with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins.
This is possible because, unlike a pultrusion process where the resin is applied to the fiber before it enters the die, with CRTM the resin is injected directly into the die for better control of fiber alignment and resin kinetics.

Avient announces new long fiber reinforced composites formulated with post-industrial recycled resin content, for applications including office furnishings and outdoor adventure gear.
This expands the product line that launched earlier this year with PA6 resin derived from reclaimed end-of-life fishing nets.
Formulations also can use varying levels of post-industrial recycled resin content

Unique Glowing Effects for Resins
These colorants are custom formulated to take advantage of the transparency and light transmission properties of the base resin.
They may be used in transparent resins such as acrylic, GPPS, PC, PET, PETG and SAN.

Our teams researched the best combination of additive and carrier resin for the application.
Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear and opaque resins, the team had to explore two different avenues—one that preserved clarity and one that retained opacity.
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.
