Body Adhesive This adhesive is a solvent containing the parent resin of the parts to be bonded. The layout should be balanced and even, and should position on non-cosmetic surfaces.2 Balanced ejection is critical for Gravi-Tech filled resins. Melt Temperature The viscosity of Gravi-Tech materials is higher than with NEAT resins due to the amount of filler content.

Monomers make up the majority of the variable cost of manufacturing the base resin. The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive. Hanna Resin Distribution from 1995 to 2000, when PolyOne was formed.

The carrier resin could cause performance problems in a few polymers. Actual color may vary depending on specific resin and processing conditions.

A second test was also carried out, which aimed to demonstrate how recycled material can be combined with vPET to produce bottles that are very similar to bottles produced with 100% virgin resin.
