L’utilisation de cette solution colorante
dans des emballages rigides en PP avec un taux d’intégration inférieur ou égal à 4% permettra
à l’emballage d’être détecté et orienté vers le flux d’emballages en PP avec des performances
satisfaisantes.
La solution colorante noire CESA® IR PE 94000828 de Avient Corporation utilisée pour colorer
des emballages rigides en PP est une alternative aux solutions colorantes non détectables.
En effet, les
emballages rigides en PP intégrant 4% de solution colorante noire CESA® IR PE 94000828 sont
détectés et orientés vers le flux PP avec les mêmes performances (qualité, taux de captage)
que les autres emballages rigides ménagers en PP.

Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulation
KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/NOVEL_THERMOPLASTIC_ELASTOMERS_FOR_UNIVERSAL_OVERMOLDING_ON_DISSIMILAR_THERMOPLASTICS.pdf
Thermoplastics are used in various applications, including PP, PS, ABS, copolyester,
SAN, PC etc..
For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa.
The failure mode is cohesive on
PP and adhesive on all other substrates.

The foaming simulation is carried out under
confidentiality and is currently available for
components made from polypropylene (PP), talcum
filled PP, and glass fiber filled PP, with a minimum
part thickness of 2mm.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Provides a mold-filling study
• Helps maximize part weight reduction
• Predicts mechanical properties
• Enables the calculation of necessary clamping
force
• Reduces physical trials
• Optimizes tool design and production processes
KEY APPLICATIONS
• Components made from polypropylene (PP),
talcum filled, and glass fiber filled PP with a
minimum part thickness of 2mm
• Automotive structural parts e.g., door panels,
dashboard carriers
• Consumer goods e.g., interior fridge parts,
transport boxes and composters, vacuum
cleaner base panels
