WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITE (WPC) MFG S H E E T A N D D E C K I N G • Lightweighting solution offering energy savings and manufacturing efficiencies • Reduced downtime associated with poor quality rejections • Consistent and uniform cell structure in decking material • Compatibility with mono-core extrusion formula (rice hull bio-filler and virgin PVC) when used with a chemical foaming additive • Density control of 0.60-0.65 g/cc in production • Provided a CFA solution that offered energy savings, process optimization, and extended manufacturing run times • Enabled improved performance results and enhanced process control • Allowed tighter tolerance control with uniform cell structure, eliminating voids and surpassing density target ($100K savings) • Increased productivity and aesthetic finish with secondary operations (sanding) KEY REQUIREMENTS Excelite™ Chemical Foaming Additives (CFA) WHY AVIENT? https://www.avient.com/products/polymer-additives/foaming-agents/excelite-chemical-foaming-additives

Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.  In addition to a gain in toughness performance LFTs also boost stiffness and strength as well.

We’re excited to further enhance our value to customers in Mexico through additional initiatives such as technical training sessions and product design support in 2016 and beyond.” Additional services and support include: In addition to exhibiting at Plastimagen 2016 next week (booth #1243), PolyOne Distribution will also conduct a Technical Seminar for Plastics Professionals on April 27 in Monterrey, Mexico.

In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation. Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs. In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.
