They bridge the gap between traditional TPEs and silicones with improved design flexibility, easier processing, and lighter weight solutions when compared to conventional TPVs, silicones, and thermoset rubbers.

We’re continually supporting brand owners and designers to re-imagine their sustainability goals,” said Alessandra Neves, senior marketing and sustainability manager at Avient.

At the same time, PCR-containing formulations can help manufacturers, designers, and brand owners close the gap on ambitious sustainability targets by lowering carbon emissions.  

They are specifically designed to carry the electricity harvested from solar panels to the battery that stores the energy.  

Up to 75% lighter than comparable steel panels and installed with common carpentry tools, composites can be easily incorporated into standard building design and enable more portable structures.

New tooling was also being developed at the time, and the team was able to provide design input that minimized mold shrinkage during production.

Improves recyclability for blended resins while reducing energy required during injection-stretch blow molding by up to 35%. Available in North America, injection-moldable reSound™ R VX TPEs utilize 25% (PCR) and up to 40 percent (PIR) recycled content, and both grades can be overmolded onto polypropylene (PP). Hydrocerol improved productivity up to 20% due to lower cycle times and processability on different injection molding units.

NYSE: POL), a leader in advanced technologies for packaging, today announced that its barrier additives are increasing sustainability and design freedom while extending shelf life and lightweighting options for packaging manufacturers. In addition, it allows design-friendly, single-layer PET containers to perform on par with multi-layer bottles and laminate paperboard cartons, requiring less material and reducing production waste for increased sustainability.

To maintain your competitive edge, you need new design solutions and innovative ideas, and we can help. Whether its moisture, oil, chemical and abrasion resistance, non-halogen or low smoke, you’ll get a custom-designed solution to meet the most demanding performance requirements.
