The outstanding performance-to-weight ratio combined with the ease of injection molding, fewer secondary processing steps, and complete design freedom can aid automotive engineers in many applications.

Bridging from the EverMinds™ platform, Borealis and Avient recently completed a joint application study investigating how to optimize color matching when using post-consumer recycled material (PCR) in rigid packaging applications.

The material is stretched and the amount of force at which the test bar tears completely is recorded. If excessive heat is added to the thermoset elastomer after the cross-linking is complete, the polymer is degraded rather than melted.

The efficiency of the design may be verified by recording the time it takes to make a complete color change while producing parts. For hot tip gate systems, there should be a delay long enough for the part to set up completely before mastication is initiated for the next cycle.

Patterson continued, "With the acquisition of Spartech completed over one year ago, our integration efforts and previously announced manufacturing realignment are accelerating Specialty platform growth. We expect to complete the repurchase of all 10 million shares issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Spartech by the first quarter of 2015."

Sure, you can grind up a tire into a material for the track around a high school, but the material itself can’t be changed or transformed into a completely new and recyclable product.

In addition, we recently completed our first global

Despite this, we are committed to the process and have completed 43% of prioritized risk assessments
