CASE STUDY: MAXXAM™ REC RECYCLED POLYOLEFIN FORMULATIONS COLLABORATING TO REDUCE PLASTIC OCEAN WASTE AVIENT FORMULATES RECYCLED OCEAN-BOUND PLASTICS, MAINTAINING MATERIAL PERFORMANCE AND REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINT THE CHALLENGE The family-owned electrical component supplier, Hager Group, produces electrical switches, sockets, devices, controls, housings, and more for installation in homes and commercial buildings. The new recycled polyolefins have enabled the replacement of fossil fuel-based feedstock with more carbon-friendly recycled ocean-bound plastics. Using Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint Calculator, which has been third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland to ISO 14067 standard, the new Avient formulations enable a 50% carbon footprint reduction compared to the materials previously used.

Long fiber composites, in particular, are well-suited for replacing metal, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and the ease of injection molding, which can expand design options and streamline processing steps.   Advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) software, when complemented by in-depth design and material knowledge, facilitates precise prediction of the behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer materials. For more technical details on the structural performance of reinforced polymers using CAE, automotive design engineers may access material data and models for Avient’s fiber-reinforced solutions using Hexagon’s Digimat-MX Tool.

To create a softer surface, many textile manufacturers are brushing fibers. No ink is applied to the fabric, but this step lays down fibers and creates a smoother surface, eliminating the need for an extra print stroke.
