Keeping in mind that color is a key element of a pleasing appearance, the recyclate’s intrinsic color-matching properties are more limited compared to virgin polymers. Those components include Borcycle M 100% recycled polypropylene (rPP) from Borealis in tandem with colorant formulations from Avient along with Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service, which could digitally illustrate the colorant formulations that are possible. Plus, the color formulations have been specifically developed for use with PCR without disturbing detectability in the sorting process.

HITTING THE SWEET SPOT FOR ARCHERY ENTHUSIASTS SPECIALTY MATERIALS AND UPGRADED DESIGN ACHIEVE GAME-CHANGING PRECISION © 2022, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 Interested in learning more about specialty TPEs or advancing your design? The existing grips, made out of a rigid polymer, didn’t hug the archer’s hand which could reduce shot accuracy and hinder performance. To correct this, Hoyt needed a new material formulation that could be used with their patented shape, would weather well, and provide an ergonomic feel with the proper durometer.

Avient’s specialty Edgetek™ PEEK formulations are capable of withstanding extreme operating environments, and should be considered for use particularly where other engineered polymers have failed. Ideal for metal replacement, these formulations can deliver robust performance in harsh environments without compromising physical integrity.

CASE STUDY: THERMA-TECH™ THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE FORMULATIONS Challe nge Accepted. Switching materials from a metal to a polymer carries large and potentially costly risks in terms of both performance and production, so Avient Design was consulted to help alleviate these concerns. Equipped with the necessary simulation software and a broad database of Avient’s Specialty Engineered Materials, Avient Design is able to evaluate a part’s performance in a given Avient thermoplastic.
