This recyclable thermoplastic also processes faster than silicones and adheres well to polycarbonate when overmolded.

Standard formulations in polycarbonate (PC), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and liquid crystal polymers (LCP) can be tailored to specific needs.

expanded polycarbonate

Available as a granular masterbatch for injection molding, thermoforming or extrusion, these new additives offer superior performance for most clear polymers, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS).

Compatibility with substrates from polypropylene and polyethylene to polycarbonate, ABS, acetyl and nylon, overmolded TPEs offer the flexibility to increase product and packaging functionality across the spectrum of possibilities without compromising recyclability.

Resilience™ LS High Reflectance PVC performs on par with metallized plastics, such as polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and offers higher light reflectance without metallization.

Masterbatches are based on specific resins from several major producers. High-temperature colorants for polyphenylsulfone resin Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

The resulting custom-formulated materials – both TPEs and thermoplastics – will be based on Oceanworks Guaranteed* base resins. Oceanworks conducts third-party testing through its laboratory partners to confirm resins are contamination free and processing parameters are met. The marketplace offers 100s of ocean and averted plastic resins, textiles, and products from trusted suppliers worldwide.

Avient’s composite tapes combine thermoplastic resins with unidirectional and engineered fibers to create continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide superior strength-to-weight ratio and high performance for reinforcement across a broad range of applications. The breadth of the materials includes Polystrand™ unidirectional tapes made with continuous glass fiber and an expanding variety of resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyketone (PK), polyamide (PA), and others, and Fiber-Line™ engineered fiber tapes, made using uniquely processed fibers including carbon, glass, and aramid. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.
