STARTUP & SHUTDOWN RECOMMENDATIONS
Purge Compound HDPE or HIPS
Recycling Recycling LubriOne up to 20% is permissible.
Testing the application is highly recommended
to determine the effect recycling has on the desired physical properties.
Cut vent depths to:
- PPA Compounds: 0.0015"–0.0025" depth and 0.250" width
- PC Compounds: 0.002"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- PSU Compounds: 0.003"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- PES Compounds: 0.003"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- PPS Compounds: 0.002"–0.003" depth and 0.250" width
- Acetal Compounds: 0.0015" minimum depth and 0.250" width
- PEEK Compounds: 0.002"–0.004" depth and 0.250" width
- Nylon Compounds: 0.002" minimum depth and 0.250" width
• Increase vent depth to 0.060" (1.5mm) at 0.250" (4.0mm) away from the cavity
and vent to atmosphere.

L’Oréal recently expressed the need for a tool to help simplify the process of developing color with recycled resin.
At the same time, L’Oréal had an objective is to have 100% of the plastics used in its packaging be made either from recycled or biobased sources by 2030.

Cleaner rPET Stream: Recycle-friendly process aids ensure that the bottles produced are more easily recyclable.
This leads to a cleaner recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) stream, which is critical for creating high-quality recycled materials.
Avient offers APR accredited process aids that can improve efficiencies, enhance recycling, and reduce energy used in the blowing process.

This solution addresses challenges associated with increased recycled PET (rPET) content, focusing on improving recyclability and enhancing bottle quality.
This technology addresses challenges associated with recycling incompatible polymers like polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) by forming a homogenous polymer mixture, increasing mechanical properties, and bridging the gap between virgin and recycled polymers.

CHICAGO – At PACK EXPO International 2016 next week, PolyOne is helping brand owners to reach seemingly separate goals – recyclability, functionality and aesthetics – with a single solution: the diverse portfolio of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for packaging.
Unlike other materials, GLS TPEs are recyclable, which is becoming increasingly more important to all consumers.
TPEs are also compatible with most municipal recycling streams.
