However, the combinations of materials that make up the composites themselves can be as varied as the end-uses. A thermoplastic is not cross-linked, so it can be re-melted and re-formed, much like an ice cube that can melt and re-freeze.

These factors can help determine which material best suits a particular application, based on processing and functional requirements. These products can operate at high temperatures and have strong mechanical properties. These parts can be molded with assembly features in place to reduce product fabrication and secondary operations.

We can give you design flexibility with both liquid and solid colorants to make your products pop.

They offer an alternative to traditional carbon black formulations and can help manufacturers reduce their product carbon footprint (PCF). OnColor REC Polymer Colorants can perform comparably to traditional carbon black in plastics. They are versatile, can be used in multiple resins, and are available in standard and custom color formulations.

As in past years at this event, we look forward to in-depth discussions with our customers to discover how we can help meet their challenges.” By replacing aluminum with Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymer in the heat sink,manufacturers can significantly reduce total part weight and optimize production and logistics. Efficient slush molding: Recently introduced low-temperature Geon™ VBX vinyl powder formulations for automotive interior surfaces and instrument panels meet OEM low temperature requirements and can provide production efficiency improvements of 15% or more.

Beyond performance benefits, these new formulations can provide manufacturing efficiencies for cable producers by reducing the need to use multiple materials because ECCOH XL Solutions can be used for both cable insulation and jacket coating. In addition, they enable high processing speeds and, due to their unique technology, can offer up to a 50% reduction in catalyst usage compared with competitive technologies.   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’s Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations can be used in photovoltaic cable, supporting sustainable infrastructure. Syncure XLPE formulations can help enable customers to produce high-quality cables at a high line speed.
