Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable material solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density modified engineered polymers based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including ocean bound plastic waste. Based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including ocean bound plastic waste Avient defines our Sustainability Portfolio in the eight ways in which we help our customers meet their innovation and sustainability goals through material science.

You may also hear these composites described as "plastic composites" or "fiber-reinforced plastic." Advanced composite materials are often used to replace a metal, wood, or other traditional material. While you may also hear these composites described as “plastic composites” or “reinforced plastic,” historically composite materials are most commonly thermoset.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR PACKAGING Compared to alternative materials, plastic is one of the most sustainable materials available for packaging applications. These issues can lead to “downcycling” of the material to a low-value application. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Aim for 75% of wall thickness for a low-shrink material, and 50% of wall thickness for a high-shrink material, with a draft angle from ¼° to 1°. In some filled plastic materials, through-holes are best added in a post-process step.

For most plastic materials, the runner size will be dependent upon the flow characteristics of the material. FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES Flow Rate Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore, with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the material is reduced. This rotation is shearing the material, which is pulling and stretching the material causing the plastic layers to flow past each other.
