Kadrega effect– random patterns that are each unique but also companion to each other suitable for polypropylene, TPE, TPU, and SAN

Durometer is the international standard for measuring the hardness of rubber, sponge rubber, plastic, and other nonmetallic materials.

Renewable resources on the other hand replenish naturally, and can reduce pollution, mitigate climate change, and support better health outcomes for humans.

The manufacturer was working with Avient on other projects, so it brought together experts from both companies to work on identifying a material that would reduce warpage and improve productivity.

In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.  With long fiber reinforced solutions, the individual reinforcing fibers within each pellet are aligned parallel to each other and are exactly as long (usually 1/2 inch or 12 mm) as the pellet due to the unidirectional orientation of the fiber prior to pellet chopping.

The two products protect and camouflage utility substations and other critical facilities and equipment to mitigate physical attacks. NOTE TO EDITORS: Southern States offers standalone walls and custom-fit panels to protect utility substations and other assets.

CLEVELAND – April 19, 2021 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today announced the launch of a new pelletized amber colorant masterbatch formulated for PET vials, bottles, and other pharmaceutical packaging applications.     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
