Avient introduces recycled-content composite materials and showcases advanced composites and engineered fibers at JEC World 2022 in Paris.

Avient will highlight solutions and services for lightweighting, recycling, biopolymers, and more, including:   Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents: polymer additives typically used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight, enabling processors to use 10 to 20% less plastic when creating parts that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled alternatives

However, aluminum parts are heavier and more costly to manufacture, and present fewer design options than moldable conductive polymers.  The manufacturer estimates the switch to this polymer tripled the LED lighting products’ useful life and reduced part weight by 50%. Our Therma-Tech materials are rapidly becoming an industry standard for metal replacement in LED lighting systems, and we are pleased that Akboru Elektrik collaborated with us on this successful product launch,” said Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, Europe at PolyOne.

PlastiComp has steadily grown through its ability to replace metal and lightweight products with unique and complex long fiber technology (LFT) composite formulations.  as part of the Specialty Engineered Materials segment. We are very excited to accelerate commercial and operational investments to further expand this important composite technology as part of our advanced composites portfolio."

While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C. The heat destroys many pigments used in engineering thermoplastics. Amorphous polymers like PSU must be cooled quickly enough to ensure solidification—otherwise, the part may deform or collapse.
