Engineered Polymer Services Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT), also known as long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT), are revolutionizing the industry by replacing metal and other underperforming polymers. Resolved a major disadvantage of moisture uptake with a Complēt™ moisture-resistant PA66 LFT formulation

The new grades for automotive interior applications are formulated with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, offering a more sustainable TPE option with comparable performance to traditional TPEs. These materials enable automotive OEMs and Tier 1s to satisfy performance needs and advance their sustainability goals,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

Scope 1: direct emissions that are typically the most manageable for polymer manufacturers. Collaboration across the value chain: a polymer value chain generally involves three organizations: raw material supplier, polymer manufacturer, and the brand owner or OEM. There are a number of options available when using sustainable raw materials in your final formulations.

Avient Launches Biocompatible PEEK Colorants and Pre-Colored Formulations for Healthcare at MEDICA 2024 Part of the Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ portfolio, this range of pre-colored formulations and color concentrates are created specifically for the healthcare industry and are especially useful for injection molding and extrusion processes. Targeted for applications such as dental scalers, surgical robots, medical stock and shapes, and portable cardiac monitoring devices, the Colorant Chromatics Transcend Biocompatible PEEK range addresses key industry challenges, such as the need for re-sterilizable and reusable high-temperature polymers that meet biocompatibility standards and maintain good color stability.

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.
