Take a closer look at these resin families and their role in composite performance Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins combine to create CFRTP tapes and laminates

Colorants and Additives for Recycled Resins E&E Applications The amount of recycled materials used in electrical and electronic products is increasing along with the diversity of polymer types being recycled. Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives enable a fire performance in line with different levels of Glow Wire temperatures (IEC 60685-2-12) for various recycled resins including PP, PC, and PS. COLOR SOLUTIONS • OnColor™ Polymer Colorants customized to customer’s requirements are color matched taking into consideration the recycled resin grade specificities and application requirements

This solution includes two grades, one for polyamide and the other for polyester fibers.

Reinforcing a thermoplastic with long glass fiber is a cost-effective way to boost mechanical properties of unreinforced resin systems and, even, short fiber solutions. Our long glass fiber reinforced products range from 20-70% fiber content (by weight) across a variety of resin systems ranging from polypropylene to higher performance engineering polymers such as PEEK.

ThermoBallistic™ thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with layers of 0°/90° unidirectional E-glass fiber reinforcements with polyolefin-based resin systems. Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

Also, the surface tension of the resin substrate is very low, complicating the wetting of the surface with a wet ink. The printing and striping inks used with the fluoropolymers PTFE and FEP are formulated from the same resins as the substrate.

Additional featured solutions include Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Additives, Colorant Chromatics™ Conductive Formulations, Colorant Chromatics™ ECTFE / ETFE Colorants, and PEEK and PEI-Siloxane (SILTEM™ resin*) Colorants & Pre-colored Solutions SILTEM™ resins is a trademark of SABIC

These nylon formulations contain 100 percent PCR resin, and are available in both PA6 and PA66 grades with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements. The platform connects brands and manufacturers with trusted suppliers to fast track the process of sourcing, evaluating, and purchasing Oceanworks Guaranteed resins, yarns, components, and products.
