Avient has formulated a new material that offers blue jean stain resistance similar to that of silicone*, yet with all the benefits of using a TPE: increased design freedom, an efficient supply chain leading to faster speed to market, and lower total part costs.

CycleWorks can develop recycling-friendly product solutions to increase the recyclability of plastic products and, by understanding the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process, can provide data to help develop new and unique polymer formulations.

They provide us with unique opportunities for exploration, enabling us to venture into new territories and expand our horizons.

These new materials integrate excellent aesthetics and functionality, including UV and stain resistance, without sacrificing mechanical properties.

FEATURE BENEFIT • Liquid technology • More accurate dose control • Less variation in melt flow and product IV • Can be coupled to an on-line rheometer • Shorter transition times • Does not require pre-drying • Less dust • Higher IV in melt phase • Improved uniformity when replacing virgin PET in PCR sheet • Eliminate/reduce solid phase polymerization (rPET) • Increased use of post consumer flake or re-grind (Sheet) • Reduced brittleness, less breakages and scrap • More consistent melt flow • Reduced cost • Higher productivity • Cleaner working environment PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS • Higher productivity • Cleaner working environment • New product designs and applications • Improved shelf appeal PET SHEET • Increases final IV • Less variation in product IV • More consistent melt flow • Increased use of flake or regrind • Shorter transition times • Reduced scrap • Reduced dust • Improved impact strength • Improved low temperature performance • Improved aesthetics Information and photographs supplied by Sunwell Global Ltd • Higher productivity • Improved sustainability • Lighter weight, higher strength • Properties comparable to PS packaging • Recyclable PET MONO/MULTI LAYERED SHEET XPET FOAM SHEET ROUND DIE • Improved melt flow consistency • Improved IV consistency • Increased recycle content • Reduced rejects and scrap • Increased product strength • Improved low temperature performance • Increase final IV • Increased use of regrind • Impossible to start up without it • Faster product changeover • Easier to cut • Increased strength • Lighter weight • Good sealing ColorMatrix™ rePrize is a PET compatible formulated liquid dispersion, designed to increase the polymer chain length via reactive extrusion.
