These new toners are formulated without heavy metal or restricted ingredients, and can be used at lower doses in comparison to alternatives like pigment and solid masterbatches. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

Although TPV and EPDM have historically been used in this application, they are less effective in minimizing appliance ‘walking’ and require longer production cycle times. In addition, this material withstands wear and tear of daily use, is overmolded easily onto polypropylene, and reduces cycle time through the elimination of secondary operations, such as drying.   To help customers learn more about using Versaflex VDT TPE materials to mitigate vibration, PolyOne recently published this Smart Materials™ Vibration and Sound eBook.

Uses and Applications Compared to traditional steel used in concrete reinforcement and infrastructure applications, carbon fiber composites offer higher tensile strength, lower density and more versatility in end-use applications. These CFRP materials consist of thermoset continuous fiber polymer rods, bars and laminates used in a variety of applications that require superior technical characteristics.

PCF values are calculated using Avient’s PCF Calculator, certified by TÜV Rheinland according to ISO 14067

If a reinforced substrate material is used a high hardness abrasion resistant steel may be required. Vapor honing, sand or bead blasting and chemical etching may also be used to produce surfaces with varying degrees of gloss and appearance. Cold slug wells should be used each time the runner makes a turn or divides.

Avient’s customer-focused ColorNow™ digital service uses a mobile app at its core with structural enhancements around it, such as a portable light booth for color matching based on a physical target.
