In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low cycle time with improved processability and tailored crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts.

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.

Capture is recognized by the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR) to meet Critical Guidance based upon its recyclability with PET bottles.

Additionally, some countries have stringent local fire safety standards for arena and stadium seating, which call for plastics with improved flame retardancy properties, achieved with flame retardant additives.

They also offer the ability for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory to store large quantities of virgin or recycled resin and order flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.

Non- toxic, non-corrosive and flameproof, inorganic antimicrobials have no negative impact on plastic and synthetic fiber processing.
