For example, the use of sustainable content such as bio-based or recycled sources can lower a PCF. Keep in mind that a limited number of toolmakers specialize in LSR molds—and many are based in Europe. TPEs can be formulated to achieve high tear strengths as seen in traditional TPE applications such as diapers and exercise bands, where these bands or thin films (as low as 3 mils) are stretched without tearing.

Hydrophobic softeners will resist water-based and discharge inks. If mixing at the 8 percent activator-to-base ratio, the addition of more activator will not rejuvenate the base and permit the run to continue. Intense Water-Based Inks: Wilflex Oasis™

New at Pharmapack are color and additive masterbatches based on a PE carrier that is manufactured using non-fossil feedstocks. The resins have bio-based content up to 95 percent, as calculated to ASTM D6866 standard. As drop-in replacements for fossil-based color concentrates, they can be processed the same way and recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polyolefins.
