Detection and sorting of black products in material
recovery facilities is a known issue which affects
the packaging and recycling industries.
Automatic
sorting equipment relies on the reflectance of NIR
wavelengths to identify polymers and properly
sort packaging waste by plastic material.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Based on nylon 6 (PA6) and nylon 66 (PA66) polymers, these materials
combine high temperature performance with exceptional strength and durability.
These materials
deliver great performance and processing characteristics,
comparable to prime nylon grades.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

THE CHALLENGE
Vibratory conveyors are frequently used to process
a variety of materials, from heavy duty powder and
bulk solids to delicate berries and potato chips.
Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of
choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural
strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and
chemical exposure.
Made in the USA
Avient’s Gordon Composites vibratory springs are
manufactured in Montrose, Colorado using materials
sourced from US suppliers.
