This high-tech facility is helping us to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process to see how and where problems occur.

Anisotropy is caused when the polymer chains orient in the direction of flow, which leads to higher physical properties in the flow direction.

About PolyOne PolyOne Corporation, with 2015 revenues of $3.4 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

These fibers reinforce a wide array of resin systems ranging from polyamides to higher-performance engineering polymers such as PEEK.

Help protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging.

While the brand name therefore remains unchanged, the highly recognizable Dyneema® diamond logo – the ultimate symbol of strength – has been given a modern redesign inspired by the unique manufacturing process that enables Dyneema® fibers to be engineered at the polymer level.

The growing adoption of plastics with PCR content by Asian automakers in the past decade, especially for interiors, has also created a significant rise in demand for PCR-based TPE solutions capable of delivering excellent overmolding results on higher-performing polymers, such as PP,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

Pultruded composites are a type of high-performance, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material that are manufactured using a continuous process called pultrusion.
