Avient Unveils PTFE-Free and Non-Halogen Flame Retardants for Polycarbonate at Fakuma 2023 New PTFE-free and non-halogen Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives can help producers of polycarbonate E&E applications prepare for possible future P

    Rejoin™ PCR Masterbatch for polyolefin packaging applications is made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefin as a carrier resin, enabling a bottle or part to be manufactured from 100 percent PCR     reSound™ R PC contains 25 to 70 percent PCR or PIR (post-industrial recycled) polycarbonate with multiple color options to deliver sustainable benefits to customers.

These solutions are made with bio-derived polymers, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and styrenics, with bio-derived content ranging from 70% to 100%. Our contribution is working with resin producers and our in-house material experts to provide more sustainable and bio-compatible color and additive polymer solutions.”

LubriOne internally lubricated formulations made without PTFE were first introduced in 2023 and are available in a wide range of solutions with base resins from polyamide 6.6 (PA66) and polyoxymethylene (POM) to polycarbonate (PC) and polyphenylene ether (PPE).

How do they differ from commodity or engineered resins? Therefore, pre-colored resin is highly recommended However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC).
