In collaboration with a leading German car producer, Avient was requested to reduce a dashboard carrier’s weight while keeping part performance and mechanical properties. 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 plays a critical role in an Avient-wide program to support a sustainable plastics industry.

Formulations are heavy metal-free and manufactured using state-of-the- art pigment dispersion techniques that improve homogenization and color distribution. PPSU provides the highest performance with superior impact resistance, flame retardancy, and temperature capabilities. Avient makes no warranties or guarantees respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application.

Avient will also feature Complēt™ R long-fiber-reinforced composites for injection molding that incorporate from 50% to 100% post-consumer recycled nylon 6 reclaimed from end-of-life fishing nets. We’re committed to helping our customers meet their sustainability goals in a variety of ways with our composites portfolio,” said Chris Pederson, president, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Avient is exhibiting in Hall 6, Booth R32 at JEC World from May 3-5, 2022.  

Avient developed new recycled-content materials to enable its customers to achieve their goals and add options for the circular economy. PCR grades are formulated with different types of recycled content: ocean plastics; food packaging from a variety of sources (including content that received a No Objection Letter from the U.S. FDA); oil; or polyvinyl butyral (PVB) from windshields and laminated building glass supplied by Shark Solutions.

To produce a glossy surface, a polished mold is required and an unfilled grade should be used. When hot sprues are used, the machine nozzle tip should be a free-flow nozzle rather than a reverse tip. Rheological balancing is possible, but only for a specific grade or rheometric curve.
