Grade/Part Dependent Grade/Part Dependent

Some polymer grades on the plastic market are already manufactured using renewable sources such as corn, sugar cane, and vegetable oil. The bio-based content of the polymer can be between 70% and 100% depending on the polymer grade.

Avient’s team recommended the use of overmolding (two-shot injection molding) to integrate the boot with the saw housing, and trialed several products before customizing a grade from its portfolio. The TPE grade surpassed the performance of the previous material and allowed the manufacturer to introduce a more efficient production process.

The TPE grade surpassed the performance of the previous material and allowed the manufacturer to introduce a more efficient production process.

Next, the materials team formulated a grade that would offer enough heat resistance to be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying rigid material. Finally, the OnFlex-S HF grade was developed to bond sufficiently and be chemically compatible with polypropylene. Natural grades can be colored during processing with compatible products from Avient’s OnColor™ color concentrate line

Consequently, many PCR grades are excluded. Predict final colors, based on a PCR grade and concentration 2. Define PCR color specification limits and find PCR grades to achieve a target color 4.

Grades are available for various polymer formulations, including polyolefins, PVC, and TPU. Grades are available for polyolefins, ABS, PS, PA6, and others on request. Grades are available for polyolefins, styrenics, PVC, PA6, and others on request.

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. RHEOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE ECCOH 6153/6154 UV grades offer enhanced rheological pbehavior. 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.
