This leads to a cleaner recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) stream, which is critical for creating high-quality recycled materials.

The initial portfolio comprises nine standard unreinforced and glass or carbon fiber reinforced grades, in which PTFE is replaced with alternatives such as linear and high density or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (LDPE/HDPE/UHMWPE).  

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service is a digital service using sophisticated technology to help illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins.

CLEVELAND – September 9, 2024 – Dyneema®, owned by Avient Corporation, a leading provider of specialty and sustainable materials solutions and services, is proud to provide ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, unidirectional (UD) composite fabric, and film materials that are manufactured without intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for hard and soft ballistic armor, helmets, and vehicle armor.

These solutions are made with bio-derived polymers, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and styrenics, with bio-derived content ranging from 70% to 100%.

Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations and ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions, both of which can enhance traditional LSOFH materials to provide additional requirements such as oil resistance, chemical resistance, and improved mechanical performance or service temperature of the cables  

They also feature excellent bonding to plastics with improved chemical resistance, such as rigid PVC, co-polyesters, PC/polyethylene terephthalate, rigid thermoplastic urethanes and polyetherimide, many of which are now replacing traditional substrate materials.

Three standard white colorants in bio-polyethylene are also available for pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers.    

Beyond strength, Dyneema® SB301 has the additional advantage of being made from bio-based Dyneema® fiber, which enables a carbon footprint up to 90% lower than generic high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fiber.
