CLEVELAND – August 19, 2021 – Avient today announced the latest additions to its growing reSound™ R recycled-content thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) portfolio. Developed in 45 to 55 Shore A durometers, the new reSound R grades are ideal for general purpose applications in the consumer and automotive industries. Their performance properties also fit automotive applications that could benefit from vibration damping, such as door mats, door damping and glove boxes.

Maxxam REC and Maxxam BIO polyolefins are the latest additions to our growing sustainability portfolio. They can be used in a broad range of industries and applications where traditional polyolefin materials are used. The new formulations can be fully customized to meet specific application needs.

Overmolding these materials on the outside of your device can add impact protection, abrasion resistance, and UV resistance properties depending on the intended use environment of the speaker.

The material selection decision, however, will be dependent on which properties are most important for the specific application. Similar to other resin systems, the addition of a color pigment may lower mechanical properties. Here are some questions you may be asking as you consider the performance needs and application challenges you face.

The global preference for plastics in consumer packaging has led to explosive growth and the production of hundreds of millions of containers for different applications per year. In addition to our material solutions, Avient has developed services to further enable our customers’ ability to meet their commitments, including Cycleworks, ColorWorks and Avient Design. Cesa™ NOX A4R Additive for Enhanced Recycling stabilizes recycled polyolefins during processing, enabling a higher quality level of recyclate and better end-use products.

As a result, stakeholders across the plastics value chain in Germany expect PET juice bottles that were previously not entering the bottle-to-bottle recycling stream, to now do so, significantly increasing the amount of rPET in bottle applications than are already present in the market.  We provide customers with additives, scavengers, and toners that improve the quality of recycled PET. Avient’s additives can improve processability during the bottle blowing phase and improve the mechanical strength of bottles.
