Variations in the aesthetic appearance of rPET are caused by multiple heat cycles, as the material is recovered and reused. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process. Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

However, the silicone was sticking to the mold and inner workings of the molding machine. The manufacturer worked with Avient to formulate a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion (sticking). In addition to a lower material cost than silicone, the custom TPE offered cycle time efficiencies, lower part weight due to its lower specific gravity, and reduced scrap rates.

Cycle Time In some cases, any of these polymers will work, but in others, a specific one is best. However, LSR and prime TPEs work easily in these applications today.

Teams from both companies worked closely to understand the specific property needs, and then searched for an impact modifier solution that the manufacturer could readily blend into polypropylene at the molding machine. In addition, the manufacturer was able to operate at a slightly faster cycle time and with a reduced scrap rate.

This process can help reduce cycle times and boost productivity by reducing demolding times and protecting the mold and the manufactured plastic parts while utilizing an alternative to PFAS-based additives. Boosting Productivity: By easing demolding times, Evoluscend™ additive benefits the overall cycle time of injection molding machines, improving throughput without use of PFAS-based additives Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End PlasticWaste and certified Great Place to Work®.

This includes working with suppliers and other departments within Avient to identify suitable alternatives and drive innovation towards sustainable solutions. For Avient, the most material aspect of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is our Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). This methodology was developed in accordance with ISO 14067:2018 for product carbon footprint and is aligned with ISO 14040/140440 for life cycle analysis.

Working in conjunction with the University of Michigan and a team of scientists and engineers, Rapid Oxygen CEO and founder Richard Imbruce, Ph.D., developed the R15 to deliver 15 minutes of 100% humidified oxygen at 6 liters per minute. PolyOne was instrumental in helping to streamline the development and production cycles through regulatory support, material expertise and selection, and supply chain solutions. Smith & Wesson Precision Components (SWPC), a leading injection molder and longtime PolyOne Distribution customer, began working with Rapid Oxygen to produce plastic components for the R15.
