Find out which material makes the most sense in your application The material itself is lightweight, has a lustrous finish, and is ideal for applications in which toughness, impact resistance, and surface finish are important. This material has improved stiffness, as well as higher tensile and flexural modulus, so it’s a good choice for applications in which wear and short-term heat resistance are important.

The sustainability goals were clear: conserve more material, reduce energy usage, and reduce plastic waste in the environment. Avient developed new recycled-content materials to enable its customers to achieve their goals and add options for the circular economy. By using recycled content, the customer made significant strides toward the circular economy, conserved materials and reduced energy usage by over 65%.

It also needed to have high clarity, which created a significant problem: existing materials provided clarity, but not the necessary stiffness. They selected a TPE-based impact modifier that could be used at a loading level five percentage points below the current material while still meeting all of the performance requirements, including higher stiffness. In addition, reducing the tote wall thickness resulted in a savings of about $470,000 a year, based on reduction in material usage and lower unit costs for fuel to transport products to retailers.

However, the combinations of materials that make up the composites themselves can be as varied as the end-uses. From engineered, man-made, or natural fiber reinforcements to thermoset or thermoplastic resins, there is a lot to consider when selecting a composite material.
