reSound REC recycled-content grades are a part of Avient’s reSound TPE portfolio, which includes both recycled-content and bio-based formulations. This new reSound REC TPE is a 65 Shore A hardness and contains 25 percent PCR content from recycled polypropylene (PP). It is naturally gray, colorable, and suitable for injection molding or overmolding onto PP.

For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa. The failure mode is cohesive on PP and adhesive on all other substrates. Jiren Gu and Krishna Venkataswamy, “Block Copolymer Compositions for overmolding any TPE, US patent filed, March 2004 3.

Homepage // News Center // Super Tough Nylon Formulations Added to Avient’s Recycled Content Portfolio On May 9 at 11 a.m., Jeremy Gray, Application Development and Technical Service Engineer, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient, is presenting “Exploring Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Polyamides,” including the new super tough recycled grades. Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy    

Aliphatic polyketone, often referred to as just polyketone or PK, is a semi-crystalline engineering resin that is an alternating copolymer of carbon monoxide and ethylene with some propylene (1–10%). Interestingly, perfectly alternating polyketone copolymer results in a highly crystalline material that is very difficult to process.
