By collaborating with ColorWorks, brand owners, marketers, and product designers gain access to a robust ecosystem of creativity and technical expertise.

With the increasing demands for flexible packaging, most manufacturers of film and sheet in flexible packaging are required to optimize processing, enhance goods performance and achieve cost savings to increase profitability and gain market share.  

Move Over Metal Composites for Lightweighting, Reinforcing, and Replacing Metal in Automotive Applications APPLICATION BULLETIN Composites offer higher strength-to-weight ratios exceeding the structural performance of traditional materials while significantly reducing weight—up to 75% lighter than steel and up to 25% lighter than aluminum. Avient’s manufacturing processes can leverage strength- to-weight ratios and anisotropy to make highly engineered composites that optimize material usage. Fiber reinforced polymer composites are exceptional alternatives to traditional materials such as wood, ceramic, and metal, enabling designers to create lighter weight structural components for increased lifetime performance, and improved fuel efficiency.

They are commonly used for: • Weight reduction/cost savings • Sink mark removal • Shrinkage and warpage reduction • Nucleation • Assisting direct gas foaming NOTE: Low gas yield products are optimized for assisting direct gas injection, nucleation, warpage reduction and sink mark removal. Moderate and high gas yield products are optimized for weight reduction, warpage reduction and sink mark removal.
