As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.
Coupled with their ability to be used across a variety of different resins, These antimicrobial additives provided significant value while protecting against microbial degradation, mold and mildew.

Manufacturers use diverse PCR sources with differing colors, darkness and opacity, while specific PCR grade availability can be unreliable.
Avient developed a Color Simulation Tool to calculate the final color of a PCR-based end article and that can be used to:

They can be effectively used in applications requiring thermal management, such as LED-lighting, electronics, and automotive, or used for magnetic sealing in appliances, security devices, and more.

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.
Hydrocerol is also used in other automotive applications as air ducts, wheel covers and other structural parts.

The Avient team used their extensive knowledge and experience working with high-density polymers to develop a specialized Gravi-Tech™ high-density polymer composite that met PolyCase’s needs and fit the profile of their proprietary injection molding process.
Equally important, end users experience significantly reduced exposure and cleanup costs associated with using lead-core bullets in indoor and outdoor range facilities when hunting and shooting.

If a reinforced substrate material is used a high hardness abrasion resistant steel may be required.
Vapor honing, sand or bead blasting and chemical etching may also be used to produce surfaces with varying degrees of gloss and appearance.
Cold slug wells should be used each time the runner makes a turn or divides.

High flow GLS TPEs (such as Versalloy) have been used successfully to fill flow ratios up to 400.
Spiral flow tests performed using 0.0625" thick x 0.375" wide channel at 400°F.
The shrinkage values reported by Avient are determined using a 0.125" thick plaque.
