May 6, 2024 Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations: two new super tough PA6 and PA66 grades added to Avient’s recycled content portfolio, each containing post-industrial recycled content, resulting in up to 81% lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint than traditional alternatives made without recycled content, and will be presented during Avient’s technical seminar at NPE, “Exploring Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Polyamides,” by Jeremy Gray, Application Development and Technical Service Engineer, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient, on May 9 at 11 a.m. Avient invites visitors to explore its sustainability initiatives and innovations at NPE 2024 May 6-10 at the company's customer center in Room S210, Level II, South Hall of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.  

Long glass fiber reinforced polyketone that delivers excellent chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, and dimensional stability similar to nylon (PA6 and PA66). Complēt™ 50% long glass fiber reinforced specialty PA66 thermoplastic replaces die-cast aluminum Environmentally stabilized nylon 6 and 6/6 long fiber composites for application intermittently exposed to water high humidity that require consistent structural performance

This includes Trilliant HC8910 glass-filled polyketone (PK) formulations with a lower carbon footprint than traditional nylon (PA6 and PA66) formulations for a high-performance alternative in applications such as biopharmaceutical clamps. MD&M West will be held February 4–6 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
