This new technology offers enhanced color and aesthetic options with unique metallic effects, meeting the growing demands of high-performance polymer applications with a more sustainable alternative to traditional painting processes.

Laser welding is an alternative to chemical adhesives or mechanical assembly as it avoids mechanical stress, surface damage, and minimizes flash and particle development.

Customized Versaflex™ TPE delivered process improvement and met customer's request for a vinyl alternative without sacrificing performance 

Smart Alternative for Heat Dissipation Yields Savings

They offer a more sustainable alternative to density modified grades that are based on prime/virgin polymers. They help to reduce product carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives, reduce waste, and support the circular economy. 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.

VALUE ECCOH LSFOH grades can run at high processing speeds of up to 1,000 m/min and, with a much lower melting temperature than PBT alternatives, can greatly enhance manufacturing efficiency. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Faster processing speeds (up to 1,000 m/min) at low wall thickness (100 µm) • Increased chemical resistance • Lower gel migration • ECCOH 6153 UV - optimized for Teroson • ECCOH 6154 UV - optimized for Unigel • High color rendition and compatibility with Avient masterbatch • High UV resistance • Very low shrinkage MARKET & APPLICATIONS Optical Fiber Cables including: • Stranded loose tubes – gel-filled/dry • Micro-modules • Tight buffer applications – gel-filled/dry STANDARD COMPLIANCE • IEC 60794 • NF XP C93-850-1-1:2020 • EN 50289-4-17:2016 • ISO 4892:2016 • ST/CNET/5843 (1998) PRODUCT BULLETIN GEL MIGRATION PERFORMANCE ECCOH LSFOH 6153/6154 UV grades offer greater gel migration performance compared to alternative ECCOH grades. Performing at a lower pressure and with less stress enables a smoother surface finish and can increase processing speeds by up to 15% compared to alternative grades.

The PET packaging market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing sustainability demands, higher recycling targets, and the shift away from alternative materials such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP). Cesa Raise modified APET containers are also an alternative to crystallized PET (CPET) as they offer transparency and an increased productivity in the thermoforming process.

THE SOLUTION The company’s product management team reached out to Avient’s Gordon Composites group to identify an alternative spring solution. THE IMPACT Not only did the Gordon Composites vibratory springs outperform the company’s originally specified spring components, they provided a number of additional benefits: Ready-to-install springs reduced labor and simplified installation Unlike alternative springs, Gordon Composites springs are factory machined to the required size and pre- drilled for a significant reduction in cutting and drilling processes and allowing valuable labor time to be allocated elsewhere.

In 1997, the Frog Legs team developed an innovative alternative to the rigid casters commonly used for the front wheels. Aware of the profound impact additional weight has on individuals with disabilities, they sought alternatives to traditional machined aluminum.

Propellers made from polymer composites have a number of benefits over steel and aluminum alternatives, including improved impact resistance and vibration damping properties. THE IMPACT The main objective of this development work was to provide an alternative to one-piece solid aluminum and stainless-steel props while enabling similar performance.
