Since maintaining a good melt flow can sometimes be challenging with effect pigments, our team of material experts from Avient Design can provide support to reduce new product design errors by linking design with manufacturability and to speed up the design process. In order to meet new design constraints and improve recyclability, laser welding masterbatches can also be provided for various polymers and colors, including black and dark colors. Avient also developed a series of new solutions that allow the incorporation of higher recycled polymer content in the final article.

Mineral and fiber fillers can change the extent of expansion of a plastic, depending on loading levels and application requirements. Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive. Although carbon fibers are more expensive than glass fibers, new technologies are making carbon fibers more affordable1.
