Avient expands its recently launched reSound™ REC TPE AF 7210 grades to Asia, offering a range of PCR-based solutions for overmolding PP in demanding automotive applications. In addition, Avient can provide product carbon footprint (PCF) values for these and other products using our PCF calculator, which was developed in accordance with ISO 14067:2018 Standard and third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland.  Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports

The professionals at Jäger and Avient identified OnFlex-S TPE with UV stabilization as the material that would best fulfill cost and performance goals for this application. Each of these properties satisfies key requirements for the application, which includes both aesthetic and performance criteria. In addition, the high flow properties allow Jager to run the material in a TandemMold (a patented product of T/Mould GmbH), which effectively doubles production volume, as well as lowers energy and related production costs by up to 40%.

Thermally conductive components: Traditionally, thermoplastics’ inherent insulating properties limited their use in heat dissipation applications. Thermally conductive plastics help dissipate the heat, adding life to the fixture while offering additional design and manufacturing benefits. For many of the same reasons, thermally conductive plastics are also useful in the design of electronic components, fluid management systems, and many other heat-sensitive applications.

Future-Proof’ Pharma Packaging: Avient Launches New Regulatory-Compliant MEVOPUR™ Amber Masterbatches

In addition, manufacturers of beauty and personal care packaging often require materials that are clear or brightly colored to attract consumer attention. Regulatory compliance for aqueous, acidic, alcohol and fatty food applications are available with GLS thermoplastic elastomers. In addition, TPEs provide good moisture barrier properties and are recyclable.

Controlled conductivity specifically for high-temperature applications Handling some of the most challenging and high-performance plastic applications Low smoke & fume, non-halogen formulations with additional performance benefits.

In addition to minimizing cross talk between electronic components, Surround material is lighter weight and easier to process than traditional materials such as aluminum or copper. It is also well positioned for additional shielding applications, including camera housings and connectors beyond the automotive market. Customizable to application needs, including pre-coloring

The ColorWorks Design & Technology Centers are a source of ideas, inspiration, and technical guidance for plastic applications. In addition to the two sites in Latin America, the company has four additional locations worldwide, including Merate (Italy), Singapore, and United States sites in West Chicago, Illinois, and Phoenix, Arizona.   Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports 

Paint adds a great surface finish to automobile parts, but painting always adds cost, time, and additional logistics requirements. We have successfully helped carmakers transition from paint to MIC for many exterior applications such as skid plates and trims. This recent project is a significant step forward in reducing the cost to manufacture highly visible interior applications.”
