The problems arose where two clear resins were being blended at the press. Switching from two blended resins to a single material delivered several key benefits to the manufacturer, including:

We’re delighted to be introducing our first recycled-content long fiber composite material in a planned larger portfolio based on recycled resin,” said Eric Wollan, General Manager for Long Fiber Technologies at Avient. Historically, it has been a challenge to source streams of recycled resins that are compatible with the pultrusion process used to manufacture long fiber composites. Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, which allows end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements.  

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. GlasArmor thermoset panels are constructed from layers of woven e-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary resin system. For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.

Examples of amorphous polymers are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ABS/ASA), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and copolyesters. Polymer Pyramid - Base Resins Polymer Material Handling Depending on your formulation’s base resin there may be different requirements for storage, preparation, and processing to minimize manufacturing challenges.

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.

Composition Novoloid, or phenolic fiber, is a thermoset organic fiber produced from a phenolic novolac resin. The precursor resin is melt-spun in a solution of formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid. Very compatible with thermoset & thermoplastic resins

Sustainability remains high on the packaging industry’s agenda and eco-friendly solutions that don't add complexity and cost are winners amongst brands, converters and resin suppliers. These innovative infrared-absorbing additives are added to PET resin at the reactor stage to provide an eco boost during the blowing of container preforms. Improved recyclability for blended resins
