Supply chain security: The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile and, when supply gets tight, smaller plastisol producers are often affected the most.

Complēt™ REC Long Fiber Reinforced Composites Incorporating Recycled Resin The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin. These resin sources provide sustainable options for applications that require excellent structural and toughness capabilities while offering comparable performance to standard long fiber materials. TECHNICAL BULLETIN Sustainability Spotlight PERFORMANCE COMPARISON Long fiber composites can be custom formulated with varying levels of recycled resin as well as varying levels of fiber reinforcement to balance your performance and sustainability goals.

THE SOLUTION Avient recommended Bergamid™ B70 G30H black TM-X PA 6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement for its excellent mechanical properties and cost benefits. HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard black color. Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density modified engineered polymers based on recycled resin and/or recycled filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Customized density offering a wide range of specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3) • Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR sources • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance can be adapted depending on base resin as required • Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and cool touch • Design flexibility and processing ease MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS Applications in packaging and consumer goods in which a more sustainable solution is preferred: • Cosmetic caps and closures • Perfume caps • Spirit bottle caps • Luxury boxes • Handles and knobs SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS • Formulated with recycled resin from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including ocean bound plastic waste • Reduces waste and supports the circular economy • Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives • Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs versus metal PRODUCT BULLETIN CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC-CI GT5200-5089 PT Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5075 Black X2 Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5078 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5079 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5060 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5057 Black Base Resin Ocean Bound rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP Recycled Content/Filler g/cm >98% PIR+PCR 60% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR+PCR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.9 2.0 CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5034 X2 FD Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5036 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5025 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5032 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5031 Black Base Resin ABS rABS/ABS rABS rPA6 rPA6 Recycled Content/Filler g/cm 50% PIR/Mineral 65% PIR/Mineral 10% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.5 1.5 2.2 2.7 2.8 AVAILABLE GRADES Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

Rigid substrates include polypropylene(PP), polyethylene (PE), amorphous polar plastics such as polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene(HIPS), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), semicrystalline polar plastics such as polyester (PET, PBT) and Polyamide (Nylon 6, Nylon 66). They include amorphous polymers such as polystyrene (PS), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), Polycarbonate (PC), Acetal (POM), PC/ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polyphenylene oxide (PPO), Noryl® (a miscible blend of PS and PPO), and PC/PETG.

PSU resin has the lowest temperature requirements, but provides the highest clarity. FEATURES AND COLORS PSU, PES and PPSU masterbatches are manufactured using 100% prime virgin resin. Ten standard colors are available for each type of resin.

Then, the team researched the best combination of additive and carrier resin for the application. 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 provide significant value.
