These materials combine the unique benefits of internal lubricants with a wide array of base engineering resins. Molybdenum disulfide is typically formulated with nylon resins to reduce wear rates.

Formulated with 15-100% bio-based resin and/or natural filler, they offer a more sustainable alternative to standard polyolefin grades with comparable performance. Formulated with 25-100% recycled resin from PIR and PCR sources, these grades offer a more sustainable alternative to standard polyolefin grades with comparable performance

Within this overlapping image of a part that is pre and post pyrolysis (burning away of the resin) you can see the well-defined skeletal structure created by the long fiber material – imperative to the success of the high impact properties achieves When selecting an appropriate long fiber composite, verify that the matrix resin is compatible with the intended usage environment and operating conditions your application will be used in, even if it’s intermittent exposure, to ensure compatibility with life cycle expectations. Polymer flow enhancers and optimized processing produce smooth, resin-rich surface finishes free of visible fibers.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Joule™ Reheat Additive Proprietary IR Absorber ColorMatrix™ Joule™ reheat additive is a proprietary IR absorber manufactured and marketed by ColorMatrix worldwide for use in PET resin formulations suitable for carbonated soft drinks and beverage applications. In order to deliver the best blow molding performance, it is customary within the conversion industry to establish ‘recipe’ guidelines per resin/per supplier as different PET resin production technologies and different specific resin formulations can significantly influence the blow molding performance. Such recipes define the overall power input as well as the lamp configuration and other important process variables consistent with the resin and preform/ bottle design.

Complēt™ REC Long Fiber Reinforced Composites Incorporating Recycled Resin The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin. These resin sources provide sustainable options for applications that require excellent structural and toughness capabilities while offering comparable performance to standard long fiber materials. TECHNICAL BULLETIN Sustainability Spotlight PERFORMANCE COMPARISON Long fiber composites can be custom formulated with varying levels of recycled resin as well as varying levels of fiber reinforcement to balance your performance and sustainability goals.

THE SOLUTION Avient recommended Bergamid™ B70 G30H black TM-X PA 6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement for its excellent mechanical properties and cost benefits. HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard black color. Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

where she held roles of increasing responsibility, including corporate vice president and general manager for the Ion Exchange Resins business.

It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry.

Hybrid materials range from 20-50% total long glass + long carbon fiber content (by weight) reinforcing a variety of resin systems including polyamides, rigid thermoplastic polyurethanes and polypropylene.

Colors can be processed using standard equipment, are available in standard finishes, and can also be customized in various polymers or recycled resins for multiple applications.
