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 

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.

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.

Bottles and closures have traditionally been made using virgin resin. Injection and fill pressures will be different with PCR versus virgin resin due to viscosity inconsistencies of the PCR  Incorporating PCR into closures is reported to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 71% over the use of virgin resin¹.

The main focus of this paper is to introduce novel developments in adhering thermoplastic elastomers onto rigid thermoplastics such as polycarbonate, ABS and their alloys, polyacetal and polyamide. These include semi crystalline and amorphous polymers such as polypropylene, high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), polyphylene oxide (PPO), polyoxymethylene (POM) and polyamide (PA).
