How to manage unwanted coloring in blow molded bottles When manufacturing blow molded bottles intended for food and beverage, industrial chemical and personal care markets, issues managing pearlescence and haze can lead to costly delays and disruptions – including unwanted downtime, higher scrap rates and quality concerns.   Pearlescence, also known as stress whitening, causes a milky coating in the bottle and is often caused because the production temperature is too cold.  

Blow molded bottles shipped in rigorous transit environments and used in everyday life by consumers must withstand drops and impact.   Enhancing the Circularity of PET: Challenges and Solutions Enhancing the Circularity of PET: Challenges and Solutions

Bottle-blowing process aids are specialized additives that are added during preform production at the converter, enabling blow molders to optimize their blow and bottle performance. Typically, energy savings alone is sufficient to advance to the production blow molding stage. Avient offers APR accredited process aids that can improve efficiencies, enhance recycling, and reduce energy used in the blowing process.

In fact, ergonomic design of medical devices, diagnostics, equipment and packaging is one of the top trends in healthcare today. To address these trends, manufacturers are seeking ways to enhance the ergonomic aspects of their products. To learn more about the many ways in which TPEs can greatly enhance healthcare and other products, contact an expert at Avient today.
