Enhance supply chain flexibility – Unlike silicone, which is limited by a complex silica mining supply chain and manufactured in silicone-only factories, Avient TPEs can be processed by any injection molding manufacturer. Reduce overall costs – Versaflex CE 3320-70 has lower manufacturing and total part costs compared to silicone.

ATO is only used as an industrial intermediate in manufacturing locations designed for the handling of plastics and chemicals. ATO has also been found to be useful as a catalyst for PET manufacture, as a frictional additive in automotive brake linings, as a clarifier for glass, as an opacifier for enamels, as a coating for titanium dioxide applications, and as a stabilizer for certain pigments. Though there are potential hazards associated with ATO, it is only handled by highly trained people in manufacturing environments utilizing specialty equipment, safety controls, and personal protective equipment.

Spraying a coating on a film’s surface requires an investment in capital equipment and use of a secondary process in a film manufacturing line. In contrast, a specialty additive concentrate can be added at the film extrusion machine, in concentrations formulated to support manufacturing of different types of films. Collaborating with an experienced supplier able to offer a wide variety of these additive concentrates, globally, can help film manufacturers play their part in limiting food waste and keeping consumers happy.

Because the material has never been combined or processed in this precise way, the “recipe” becomes a trade secret that the manufacturer saves for future use cases. Because of this, scrap materials during the manufacturing process can be reused. Because producing TPEs is a very controlled and precise chemical and manufacturing process, you can make TPEs for different levels of risk and medical grades.
