USP specifications cover blood and body fluid compatibility/contact applications. Softening/melt temperatures vary with polymer type and grade. Consult your TPE supplier for more information on how design considerations affect shrinkage.

In a balanced runner system, the melt flows into each cavity at equal times and pressure. A good starting point for the gate width should be 1.0 - 1.5 times the gate depth. If possible, utilize a system or component supplier with experience in styrenic TPEs.

FLEXCART™ MELT INJECTION SYSTEM FlexCart™ Melt Injection (M.I.) units and PlanetPak™ containers are the equipment components of Avient’s proprietary liquid metering systems. The range of sizes suitable for the Melt Injection unit are the larger end of the PlanetPak range—25L and 15L containers The basis of a PlanetPak container is a robust polyethylene liner with a proprietary collapsing design, encompassed by a cardboard outer shell.

Departing from fixed forks that bounced the occupant when encountering obstructions, they designed forks with a patented pivot point and wedge-shaped shock absorber made from lightweight aluminum. Their pursuit led them to carbon fiber composites and, subsequently, to Avient, a leading supplier of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and technologies.

1 How to manage Purchase Orders through the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) Suppliers Guide For Avient Suppliers The Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) is a no-cost tool for suppliers that makes working with your clients, such as Avient, easier and smoother. It is recommended you contact Avient directly if you plan on not fulfilling the order. Contact your customer Avient representative to get the PO back on track.

The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) is the only organization that supports the entire plastics supply chain, including Equipment Suppliers, Material Suppliers, Processors, and Recyclers, representing over one million workers in our $468 billion U.S. industry.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Specialty Toners for PC Polycarbonate is used for the production of automotive interiors and appliances to consumer goods and electronics, replacing more traditional materials such as glass and acrylic. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading to better color consistency • Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments, helping to retain transparent properties • Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness in production lines often found with powders • Lower inventory, easier supply chain management • Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage • Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in PC chips • Supports sustainability through improved color and material changeover time • Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to alternatives PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

An extreme case is polybenzimidazole (PBI), which has a stratospheric glass transition temperature of 427°C. Molding these high-temperature thermoplastics requires processing equipment capable of melt temperatures up to 400°C and mold temperatures up to 200°C.

They can be used in the extrusion of polyethylene or polypropylene to reduce the friction between the molten polymer and metal, enabling the polymers to be extruded without melt fracture. The performance of both Cesa solid and Hiformer liquid additives is effective at low concentrations in eliminating melt fracture (shark skin) and die buildup (die drool). Certain PFAS materials are subject to product bans, leading to market exits by suppliers.
