Hydrocerol improved productivity up to 20% due to lower cycle times and processability on different injection molding units. Using Hydrocerol with core-back molding technology, a process in which the mold is opened slightly to further reduce pressure and allow the foam core to expand, Avient helped the customer leverage density reduction to lower finished part weight. Added during processing, Hydrocerol is heat activated and releases gas to form a cellular foam structure, keeping the outer skin solid without voids.

CORE™ Wear-Resistant Vinyl Plastisols can be processed to provide longer service life and premium product performance, especially for products requiring greater wear-resistance. Processes on conventional production equipment; no need for extra capital investment Technical information, design guides, processing information and more.

Add one of many available performance enhancing additives to create a complete solution for processing and marketing your product. Technical information, design guides, processing information and more. How can you make the most of color, from design through processing?

These bio-based plastisols can be used in a variety of manufacturing processes, including dip coating, dip molding, rotational molding, and cast or laminate coating. Suitable for multiple manufacturing processes Technical information, design guides, processing information and more.

Coloring polymers in any process gives a degree of freedom and flexibility that’s not possible with pre-colored polymers. This can lead to a less-than-optimum processing experience that also produces less-than-consistent results. The specifics on sizing depend on the applications themselves as well as the size of processing machinery.

Together they developed a specially formulated pre-colored talc-filled Maxxam™ PP material incorporating OnCap™ CTR Process Optimization Additive. This solution met the standards for heat resistance, physical properties and processing parameters.  To assure color consistency, the development process also included creation of color specifications – the first time the OEM had such standardization for underhood parts.

The company also wanted to find a lead-free vinyl that would process as well as lead-stabilized material to avoid a negative impact on manufacturing efficiency and cycle time.  It planned to reduce the amount of lead processed at its Plant No. 2 by 20 percent – or 20,000 pounds – through substituting reduced-lead or lead-free compounds and color concentrates. It also planned to reduce lead processing at its Plant No. 3 by 25 percent – or 10,500 pounds – through solderless product offerings.
