Using recycled materials is one
way to attract eco-conscious consumers, but also to prepare for possible future legislation as governing bodies
are looking to reduce carbon emissions.
It
serves as a collaboration platform to develop with
customers and other value chain partners recycling-
friendly additive and colorant systems and to help
solve fundamental issues in mechanical recycling.
SUSTAINABILITY
Avient’s color and additive manufacturing sites
comply with ISO standards such as ISO 9001:2015
QMS, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management
System and ISO 45001:2018*.

Whether
a surface coating or an additive concentrate is
selected, the anti-fogging system balances the
differences in surface energies by increasing that
of the film to meet that of the water.
But
plastics material systems are dynamic too.
Firstly, the additive had to be
compatible with the polymer system, but at the
same time it needed to be able to migrate to the
surface of the film over time, in order to provide a
consistent and long-lasting anti-fogging effect.

For example, automotive designers may choose materials for vehicle interior surfaces to create the perception of quality and luxury.
TPEs can be customized, depending on the application requirements, to provide surface feel ranging from grippy or tacky to smooth and silky.
Consumer electronics, for example, are subject to fierce competitive pressures and often rely on stylish surfaces for differentiation.

This will create a back filling flow and result in a surface knit line.
Defects like these may be minimized by using a textured or matte surfaced tool.
Another suggestion is to use a mold surface that has been treated with a release coating or has been sand blasted to trap air next to the mold surface.

Matte surfaces can also
help to hide any flow marks or other surface defects.
