Avient Expands Production Of Nymax REC Recycled Nylon Formulations To Istanbul
Avient expands production of Nymax REC Recycled Nylon Formulations to Istanbul, Turkey. These formulations contain up to 100% recycled materials, such as nylon carpets, and can be used in applications such as automotive under-the-hood parts.
Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, today announced that production of its Nymax REC Recycled Nylon Formulations is expanding to Istanbul, Turkey. This will increase accessibility to these sustainability-supporting, REACH-compliant solutions for customers in Middle Eastern countries.
These PA6-based Nymax REC formulations contain between 20 and 100 percent recycled content from registered sources approved by the European Union regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), such as recycled textiles. They offer comparable performance to virgin nylon grades, including high strength, durability, impact resistance, and weather resistance. These formulations can be combined with a wide range of reinforcements, modifiers, and fillers to enhance performance requirements and can be tailored to provide chemical resistance and flame retardancy.
“Expanding production of these grades to Istanbul, using locally sourced recycled content, means we can offer Turkish and Middle Eastern countries these REACH-compliant solutions while helping to reduce the environmental impact of transporting these materials,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. “It shows our strengthened commitment to providing sustainable solutions and supports our customers in achieving their sustainability goals.”
By using recycled materials, these formulations can also offer lower Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) values than virgin nylon equivalents. As with all Avient products, certified PCF values are available.
These materials can be used in many industries and applications, including automotive, industrial, electrical, and electronics, offering a more sustainable alternative to virgin nylon without compromising performance. For more information, please visit avient.com.
