Explore three key opportunities for metal-to-plastic conversion

Although these process aids do not directly benefit preform manufacturers, who produce the initial plastic preforms, the advantages are realized at the bottle blower stage, where the preforms are heated and blown into their final bottle shapes.

CORE™ Vinyl Powder Coatings are dry blends of suspension PVC resins that are plasticized for flexibility.

WithStand Antimicrobial Additives provide a proven, effective, durable, uncompromised solution to limit microbe development in finished plastic devices.

A 2012 article in Plastics Technology1 notes silicone rubber molds need tighter tolerances to prevent flash. On the other hand, TPEs are most commonly processed using in-line, single- screw injection equipment that has been routinely used in the plastics industry for decades.
