Colorants & Additives for Healthcare - Application Bulletin

In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure.

Avient engineered a new customized formulation for the part, which provided both the processability required for extremely short cycle injection-compression molding, as well as including an additive to stabilize the material when in contact with copper. This additive protects the door from cracking as it comes into contact with copper particles over time. In addition, the new material also provides anti-static properties and low VOC levels, which helps the system adhere to regulations such as the Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standard.

Cesa™ Anti-Block Slip LS Additives for low-temperature sealing layers in flexible polyolefin packaging FOOD PACKAGING IN A CHANGING MARKET In many food contact applications, flexible plastic packaging is replacing rigid packaging for varied reasons; it has lightweight characteristics, is easy to customize in any shape, and has a favorable carbon footprint. WHAT IT DOES Cesa™ Anti-Block Slip LS is a range of additives for flexible polyolefin packaging that helps convertors and brand owners switch from multi-material to mono-material packaging. The additive’s formulation ensures smooth and efficient processing of mono-material polyolefin films that contain low-temperature sealing layers, improving the overall performance of the packaging, and providing a reliable and user-friendly experience for both manufacturers and end-users.

By 2040, a circular economy has the potential to reduce the annual volume of plastics entering our oceans by 80%, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25%, generate savings of $200 U.S. dollars per year and create 700,000 net additional jobs.. In addition, one of the largest comparative studies on the impact of implementing a circular economy demonstrated a positive effect on employment, in part due to new jobs in recycling and remanufacturing.
