When using multiple ink colors with hot-split inks, be sure to butt-register, rather than overlay ink on ink. Keep paper in original wrappers and cartons until ready to use. Use pallets.

CLEVELAND – May 5, 2021 – Avient today announced the launch of ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R, a non-nylon-containing oxygen scavenger additive specifically formulated to enable the use of up to 100 percent recycled PET (rPET) content.     Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

These new toners are formulated without heavy metal or restricted ingredients, and can be used at lower doses in comparison to alternatives like pigment and solid masterbatches. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

CLEVELAND – April 13, 2021 – As food and beverage brands increasingly seek to support a circular economy by using more recycled PET (rPET), several aesthetic and processing challenges inherent in rPET are also emerging. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

Formulations were tested using an adapted ASTM D543 method for environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR).     Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

Using a method adapted from ASTM D543 for ESCR (environmental stress cracking resistance), results versus alternative FR materials demonstrate superior mechanical and aesthetic property retention, and prevention of cracks and crazing after exposure to leading healthcare disinfectants* such as Virex® Tb, CaviCide™, Vesphene® IIse and Super Sani-Cloth®¹. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

To support the move toward a circular economy, governments are legislating increased levels of recycled material in single-use packaging. For example, an EU directive for use of rPET in beverage bottles will increase from 25 percent in 2025 to 30 percent in 2030. Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

This dissipation is typically handled by a heat sink, but the aluminum one used by the company was becoming a problem. Mars Otomotiv owned the tooling used to form the metal heat sinks. They completed the metal-to-plastics transition in less than four months – bringing production in-house while using the same tooling.

Materials and their impact on patient safety Increased use of Quality by Design (QbD) processes means that more consideration needs to be given to materials used and their impact on patient safety. Fingerprinting and routine batch testing of the raw materials used in MEVOPUR and REMAFIN-EP help detect changes and implement countermeasures. Declarations based on pre-testing of the ingredients we use to standards typically required for medical and diagnostic devices (biological evaluations ISO10993, USP , for class VI devices); and for pharmaceutical packaging and drug-contacting materials (biological evaluation USP, EP chapter and requirements USP and ICHQ3D extractable metals).
