In order to have a concentrate recognized by UL, the following conditions must be met: • the color concentrate producer must be recognized by UL • the polymer, generic or specific, must be recognized as well • the recognition of the material combination (base resin + color concentrate) must be listed in the QMSQ2 file of the concentrate producer • the specification limits set in the QMQS2 file must be respected if the UL 94 recognition is to apply to the final plastic part Avient has a wide range of color and cost options available to provide maximum flexibility. For most updated information please refer to Avient UL recognized color concentrate file QMQS2 E73454.

Because the material has never been combined or processed in this precise way, the “recipe” becomes a trade secret that the manufacturer saves for future use cases. Save and share the full guide as a PDF for future reference.

PRODUCTIVE Wilflex Epic Rio RFU Standard Colors are built to save printers time and money. SIMPLE Save time on mixing with ready-for-use colors that are accurate and repeatable from one job to the next.

Save, review and manage your chosen formulations for future reference and production scale orders. Select eliminates multiple process steps and internal qualification programs, delivering important operational cost savings.

Also, energy and labor savings translate to lower power consumption and an improved utilization of staffing. 2. By utilizing faster manufacturing methods, TPEs can help you accelerate efforts to meet cost saving goals with improved operational performance.

Considering the cost of replacing aged, damaged, and failed poles, the longer lifespan of an FRP pole results in total cost savings over the life of the pole. No Assembly Required GridCore pultruded composite poles are fully fabricated as one-piece, uniform diameter, requiring only one size through-bolt length, saving assembly labor in the field, and reducing outage time.

By 2040, a circular economy has the potential to reduce the annual volume of plastics entering our oceans by 80%, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25%, generate savings of $200 U.S. dollars per year and create 700,000 net additional jobs.. Industry A circular economy would reduce the cost of materials and production, which in turn creates savings for industries. These savings are realized through circular activities that enable more efficient use of materials and less reliance on the raw materials market, where prices are often volatile.
