These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications.

THE IMPACT While the OnCap Denesting additive solution was developed initially to satisfy the needs of the converter, it was so effective that the sheet producer has plans to incorporate this technology into its entire portfolio of packaging solutions.

Developed for the preservation of high-touch surfaces and applications, these formulations contain antimicrobial additives that continuously inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and molds that cause odor and detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to the finished plastic part.

GLS™ TPE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS CHEMICAL RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC, PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate.

Its portfolio of OnColor™ polymer colorants was developed to improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary orange polymers for high-voltage EV connectors, offering the following benefits: • Long-term fading resistance in thermal aging tests at up to 130°C for 1,000 hours, • No migration, excellent processing stability • Lower corrosion risk vs. typical comparable colorants • No impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, including flexural and impact strength Avient’s orange nylon colorants are available in several validated RAL, Pantone, and JPMA orange shades for compounding, injection molding, and extrusion.

As a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Avient will collaborate to develop and implement solutions to end plastic waste with approximately 50 members across the value chain.

https://www.circularity-gap.world/2021 Latin America Elsewhere, Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), affirmed that promoting greater incorporation of the circular economy will enable the region to move towards a more sustainable, inclusive and low-carbon development pattern. Industries should also develop action plans for transitioning to sustainable energies and materials that can retain a high value in the post-consumer market.

The portfolio consists of formulations which have specifically been developed for a broad range of applications. Properties of foamed injection molded parts SPECIAL FOAMING PROCESSES A number of specific processes have been developed to achieve special properties of the foamed parts.
