We’re delighted to be introducing our first recycled-content long fiber composite material in a planned larger portfolio based on recycled resin,” said Eric Wollan, General Manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient. Historically, it has been a challenge to source streams of recycled resins that are compatible with the pultrusion process used to manufacture long fiber composites. Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, which allows end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements.

The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin. These resin sources provide sustainable options for applications that require excellent structural and toughness capabilities while offering comparable performance to standard long fiber materials.

MILAN – PolyOne today launched a breakthrough technology for coloring polyester fiber that eliminates aqueous dyeing and its associated wastewa

 – PolyOne today unveiled Wilflex™ EPIC™ Single LC White, a new, white ink that is universally compatible with both polyester

With this launch of additional OnColor™ and OnCap™ HC Plus pre-certified additives and colorant formulations, customers will have more resin choices and performance options for a greater range of applications, especially those that require biocompatible solutions. We can now offer expanded resin families that incorporate biocompatible functional additives, in both masterbatch and compounded forms, that meet or exceed industry standards for USP Class VI or ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing.” Expanded resin families able to incorporate biocompatible colorants and additives include nylon, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), and polystyrene.

Composition Novoloid, or phenolic fiber, is a thermoset organic fiber produced from a phenolic novolac resin. The precursor resin is melt-spun in a solution of formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid. Very compatible with thermoset & thermoplastic resins

Sustainability remains high on the packaging industry’s agenda and eco-friendly solutions that don't add complexity and cost are winners amongst brands, converters and resin suppliers. These innovative infrared-absorbing additives are added to PET resin at the reactor stage to provide an eco boost during the blowing of container preforms. Improved recyclability for blended resins

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors added to PET resin, preforms and rPET corrects and reduces the yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. ColorMatrix Optica toners and colorants for enhanced recyclability offer aesthetic as well as processing benefits for PET resin during the manufacture and recycling processes, and further downstream for convertors, bottle blowers and brand owners during packaging production.  Rebuild intrinsic viscosity (IV) to improve resin quality and increase use rates of reclaimed and recycled PET
