POLYOLEFINS ALIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY GOALS POLYOLEFINS ARE EVERYWHERE Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are among the most popular plastics in the world.

Additives and Colorants for PP-R and PP-RCT Pipe Systems Polypropylene-random grades (PP-R and PP- RCT) are increasingly used for hot and cold water supply pipe systems in civil and public buildings.

When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).

For over 35 years, Avient’s Fiber-Line business has provided science-driven expertise that improves the performance and functionality of high performance fibers.
