Remafin™ Fiber Colorants for PP Chain Extenders for Recycled PET Fibers - Product Bulletin Benefits and applications for chain extenders for recycled PET fibers

Polystrand™ R continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are made with a resin matrix of greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET). Now, with new recycled-content composites, Avient further supports a circular economy and helps manufacturers lessen their environmental footprint.

PRODUCT BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Optica™ PET Blue Toners & Colors For Enhanced Recyclability ColorMatrix™ Optica™ patented liquid blue toners and colors are formulated for improved heat stability and are designed for addition to PET preforms or rPET to correct and reduce yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. THE CHALLENGE When PET is recycled it goes through multiple heat cycles, referred to as melt heat histories. THE INDUSTRY REQUIREMENT Changing legislation, brand responsibility, and a desire to support the circular economy are all driving factors pushing the need for increased packaging recycling.

Improved Recyclability Recycle Solutions Designed for Improved Recyclability

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.  Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

Avient introduces recycled-content composite materials and showcases advanced composites and engineered fibers at JEC World 2022 in Paris. This is the first offering in a planned larger long-fiber composite portfolio based on recycled resin.   Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy

reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers can help brand owners create sustainable end-user products, with formulations utilizing up to 83% recycled content for consumer and transportation industries. PCR and post-industrial recycled (PIR) recycled content grades are available.   Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy  

At the event, Avient will feature its latest polymer additive innovations for post-consumer recycled (PCR) resins, such as recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and polyolefins. Hiformer™ Liquid Additives for Polyolefins – Antioxidants: specialized for post-industrial & post-consumer recycling that can help enhance the ability to maximize recycled materials in the film with less impact on the process and prevent typical defects such as black spots and yellowing Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
