On the other hand, bio-sourced tend to be more opaque, making them easily colorable, but they do have a different tint than prime raw materials.  LSR and other engineering elastomers typically cost more per pound than standard elastomers. Compared to other elastomers, LSR is exceptionally pure.

During 2022 we continued to work with our key supplies in order to clarify our expectations regarding their compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and any other applicable anti-slavery laws.  In sourcing its own raw materials and in distributing products manufactured by others, Avient is required to meet the specifications prescribed by its customers. 

What continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are, and how they differ from other composite materials Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites in unidirectional tape or multi-axial laminate form offer a balance of performance characteristics that are unmatched by other composite materials.  

SBC TPEs have inherently superior color than most other TPEs. Therefore, they require less color concentrate to achieve a particular color and the colors produced are cleaner (less yellow) than other TPEs. GLS TPEs have lower viscosity (higher flow) than traditional thermoplastics and will leak back easier than other materials.

Carbon fiber can also be produced from other carbon-rich precursors such as Pitch & Rayon.
