Internally heated systems, which use torpedo heaters, are not recommended because they have hot spots, stagnation zones and partially solidified material clinging to the walls.

Anything they developed would have to meet the international electrical standard IEC 60670-1, which says the materials used in the wall boxes have to pass a Glow Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) 850°C testing (IEC 60695-2-12) at the application thickness, and 960°C at 2mm.

This much-anticipated launch will debut at the upcoming International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, Fakuma 2023.

A first of its kind for the plastics industry, this internally developed solution also calculates how much PCR content can be added to an existing application without affecting its signature color. 

Avient first highlighted this new certification this past week during ITMA 2023, the world’s largest annual international textile and garment technology exhibition in Milan, Italy, emphasizing its continuous efforts to help customers reduce their environmental impact and focus on a more sustainable future.
