This regional collaboration allows a local source to be identified to manufacture a similar compound with the same quality standards anywhere in the world. It also enables prediction of part quality and manufacturability by determining shrink / warp and weld line location.  By incorporating all the parameters (part design, tool layout, processing requirements, and material selection) there is an opportunity to proactively adjust the gate and runner location and size to ensure quality parts are consistently produced.

The lower the density that processors used, the more they conceded a high- quality cell structure. This gave processors control over gauge, thickness and weight throughout the entire extruded part, all leading to improved performance and quality. To illustrate, in the same PVC dryblend (pictured below), Excelite significanty reduced density with little to no effect on cell quality.

These defects can create further processing issues later on which can slow down production, interfere with end- product quality, or cause issues with consumers and brand image. Protecting PCR from degradation in this way can help achieve higher quality levels of recyclate and better end-use products and improve the quality of the overall recycling stream due to its long term stabilizing effect. Cesa Nox A4R is formulated to help: • Brand owners who need to maximize their PCR usage up to 100% to achieve sustainability and recyclability targets • Recyclers involved with flake or pellets dealing with multiple processing defects • Convertors of bottles, film, and sheet who need to maintain high-quality levels of PCR Performance enhancement antioxidants such as Cesa Nox A4R are valuable for many stakeholders within the circular economy, and indeed anyone seeking to achieve high-quality levels in their recyclate while operating with ever-increasing quantities of PCR.

The company valued the high quality and technical precision offered by this specialized production line. The material helps the company produce attractive, high-quality garden sprayers featuring precisely fitting parts. Maintaining aesthetics is vital to keeping the high end, high quality brand image.

What Quality Certifications do you maintain? Does Avient have a quality manual? Does Avient monitor and document the cost of Quality?

It enables: • Increased rPET content • Reduced CO2 emissions When added to rPET and PET preforms and bottles, SmartHeat RHC helps to: • Improve rPET quality - Better thermal stability, reduced yellowing • Improve bottle quality - Greater processability - Lightweighting • Reduce energy consumption during the blow molding process SmartHeat RHC has minimal impact on final product color or aesthetics. Over time, as the level of SmartHeat RHC in the recycle stream begins to rise, the overall quality of rPET is improved, contributing towards increased levels of rPET content in PET bottles by addressing the root cause, rather than masking the issue. This can help improve the strength and quality of the bottle, allowing for further lightweighting, and improved blowing performance, which can contribute to further lightweighting, increased levels of rPET and improved process ability of PET bottles.
