Recently developed Avient technology yields foam with smaller and more uniform cells so that processors can use 10-20% less plastic to create components that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled parts. HYDROCEROL™ chemical foaming agents help to reduce the weight of automotive plastic parts like dashboard carriers, interior trim parts, door panels or glove boxes.

Plastic Injection Molder GLS™ TPEs with imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth to protect finished plastic parts

Plastic Injection Molder GLS™ TPEs with imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more and resist fungal growth to protect finished plastic parts

Whether you manufacture appliances, electronics, packaging products, automotive parts, or sporting goods, the right additive can help you combat microbe formation and growth on your product’s plastic surfaces.​ Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial additives provide a proven, effective, durable solution to limit microbe development in finished plastic products.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic, particularly in the food and beverage industry, because of its recyclability, lightweight properties, and durability. Using Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Recognized solutions means that the rPET feedstock remains high-quality, improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the recycling process.

In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).
