Design engineers know that when high strength-to-weight ratio is required, fiber reinforced polymer FRP) composites are the material of choice.

The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.

We are proud to have been part of the collaboration with Plastic Bank and Hager and have the opportunity to transform discarded ocean-bound plastic into high-performing polymers," said Matt Mitchell, Director of Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

Design engineers know that when high strength-to-weight ratio is required, fiber reinforced polymer FRP) composites are the material of choice.

These continuous fiber-reinforced polymer composites are ideal in applications where high stiffness and light weight performance are critical.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Joule™ RHB Fast Reheat Dispersions Handling and Usage ColorMatrix™ Joule™ dispersion fast reheat products are intended for use in PET (bottle polymer) production processes in the manufacturing of CSD 0.82IV reheat polymers and are used successfully throughout the world on all types of PET production technologies. The additive is not soluble in MEG, but is very thermally heat stable and at the low ppm addition levels commonly used has no measurable impact on the polymer process other than that coming from the blue tint introduced into the polymer. This simplifies the process concerns during trials and subsequent normal stable running conditions, enables optimization of levels per application/polymer type if required and should achieve proper downstream product performance

CESA™ Nox Additives Stabilization PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Exposure to heat, shear and oxygen during processing causes the creation of free radicals from the polymer. These free radicals rapidly react with other polymer chains, propagating the degradation of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical properties in most resins. CESA™ Nox additives target the free radicals, terminating the oxidation reactions and preserving the polymer properties through one or more processing steps or cycles, including recycling.
