The service is available in North America for injection molding applications using polyolefin resins.   There are certain manufacturing limitations that prevent the use of some special effects, select resin types, or specific high color tolerances.

An enforced gap analysis of technical documentation may show that current plastic resin grades or masterbatches do not have adequate change control, and there are insufficient change agreements with suppliers For higher risk IVD, the gap analysis may also reveal that current resin grades or masterbatches don’t have sufficient regulatory assumptions, e.g., they are not verified for elemental impurities (ICH Q3D) 

Colorants and Additives for Recycled Resins E&E Applications Learn more about Avient's portfolio for recycled resins used in electrical and electronic applications.

In contrast, short fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials contain reinforcing fibers of various short lengths (approximately 1mm in length on average) that are randomly orientated in the resin/pellet.   Fibers encapsulated with resin 

Maxxam™ REC polyolefins are formulated with 25-100% recycled resin from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post consumer recycled (PCR) sources. Formulated with 25-100% recycled resin from PIR & PCR sources

COMPTEK formulations are based on PSU, PES, PEI, PPS, PPSU, PEEK, LCP resins. Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

High-temperature colorants for polyetherimide resin High-temperature colorants for polyphenylsulfone resin

Take a closer look at these resin families and their role in composite performance Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes Unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins combine to create CFRTP tapes and laminates

Reinforcing a thermoplastic with long glass fiber is a cost-effective way to boost mechanical properties of unreinforced resin systems and, even, short fiber solutions. Our long glass fiber reinforced products range from 20-70% fiber content (by weight) across a variety of resin systems ranging from polypropylene to higher performance engineering polymers such as PEEK.

Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.
