reSound™ REC Recycled Content TPEs: The new AF 7210 series of reSound REC TPEs contain 51 – 59% recycled content, including a minimum of 37% from post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including closed-loop feedstock from within the automotive industry. These new grades provide comparable performance to virgin TPEs and can reduce product carbon footprint by 8-18%* when compared to virgin equivalents.   Additional show highlights from Avient include other materials from its sustainability portfolio, including bio-based and recycled TPEs, polyolefins, nylons, and density-modified formulations.

COMPOSITE TRIPOD STANDS OUT FROM THE CROWD INNOVATIVE, ROLLABLE TRIPOD DESIGN GAINS STRENGTH AND DURABILITY FROM COMPOSITES © 2023, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about the Polystrand thermoplastic composites that made the Revolve tripod possible, visit www.avient.com/composites. It needed to be flexible yet durable to withstand a lifetime of unrolling and rerolling, lightweight to enable superior portability, and eco-conscious to meet Rolatube’s commitment to sustainability.

Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate. Reduced Scrap Rate: The consistent conductivity, improved warp resistance, reduced flash, and improved durability provided by the Trilliant HC formulation meant less breakage, fewer rejects and a 40% reduction in scrap rate
