Home // Using Post-Consumer Recycled Content in Plastic Packaging Closures Closures are critical to the plastic packaging system because they can protect the contents of the package and provide safety aspects for the consumer. This shift is improving access to PCR for closures specifically and, as a result, increasing the amount of PCR used across all plastic packaging, including in more challenging situations such as food-contact packaging.

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant. If the material is allowed to stay in an injection molding machine or extruder (profile, sheet, etc.) too long, the material will start to discolor and brown ‘freckles’ may appear.

They can be used in the extrusion of polyethylene or polypropylene to reduce the friction between the molten polymer and metal, enabling the polymers to be extruded without melt fracture. These non-PFAS process aids work by migrating to the metal surface and reducing friction in the extruder and at the die. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Reduces melt fracture leading to fast time to clear • Reduces die buildup • Improves process efficiency • Retains ability to seal and print • Available in both solid and liquid • Offers low concentration efficiency • Reduces power requirements • Does not interact with other additives APPLICATIONS • Blown film • Profile extrusion • Tubing and pipe extrusion • Wire and cable applications • Extruded sheet • Applications in both virgin resin and PCR Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.
