The use of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is becoming increasingly important in the quest for sustainable packaging. For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding. Being ATA-free, it also avoids the formation of primary aromatic amines (PAAs), making it safe for use in closed-loop recycling systems.

Our formulation expertise supports materials science decisions, while our processing expertise guides customers to use the materials properly. Our design recommendations help create the end use applications. Our sustainable solutions portfolio helps our customers to solve complex sustainability challenges, including enabling the use of more recycled content, or biopolymers, sustainable infrastructure, human health & safety, lightweighting, reducing volatile organic compounds, reducing energy usage, and offering eco-conscious solutions.

When you think about the ink you use on a regular basis, what is it about the ink that you like? These factors can be used by a printer to easily evaluate and measure the overall quality and value of the product, and understand the true worth of the ink in real world environment.

As such, there’s a trend to reduce microbial populations on high-touch surfaces via the use of antimicrobials to protect material aesthetics and durability or to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards. Subsequent studies then assessed the use of an antimicrobial additive, zinc pyrithione (ZPT), for potential efficacy in a variety of TPE formulations for diverse applications.

The interest and activity for our sustainable solutions used in packaging has never been higher," said Brand owners for all types of consumer products are setting sustainability goals to increase the amount of post-consumer recycled content (PCR) used in their packaging and improve the recyclability of that packaging at end of use. The ability to use recycled content is a priority for our customers and for our world,"

PPI promotes contemporary use of plastics piping for water and gas distribution, sewer and wastewater, oil and gas production, industrial and mining uses, power and communications, duct and irrigation.  Avient’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) internal guidelines govern the manufacture of intermediate products for our customer’s use in making food, drug and medical (FDM) final product applications.  IT Systems Use Policy

New Versaflex™ HC overmolding thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for medical device housings offer enhanced resistance to commonly used antiseptic cleaners. Further, these grades are compatible with PolyOne’s OnColor™ HC Plus USP Class VI-compliant colorants, which resist fading from repeated antiseptic use.  Caption: New Versaflex™ HC overmolding thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for device housings offer enhanced resistance to commonly used antiseptic cleaners used in hospitals.
