This latest addition to the Additives for Recycling (A4R) portfolio of solutions helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification and will be exhibited at the upcoming Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing.

PolyOne will also demonstrate forming and installation techniques for thermoplastic composite materials in live presentations at the Composites One / Closed Mold Alliance demo area at scheduled intervals throughout the week.

Our innovative portfolio of colorants, additives, and services combine to form the ideal environment for sustainable solutions to thrive and support Avient’s 2030 sustainability goals.”  

As we evolve to cope with these changes, we look at the way life forms on earth manages the extremes in their environments – often with primitive elegance.

With the composites market transitioning from traditional materials like aluminum alloy or steel to long fiber composites, we are seeing an increasing need for an integrated approach that includes material formulation, component design, and forming process," says Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia at Avient.

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins.

They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.
