In this case, the newest amber masterbatches comply not only with the current USP 661 standard, which governs plastic materials used in pharmaceutical packaging, but they have also been tested for compliance to USP regulations that won’t become effective until December 2025.     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 Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

This formulation is created for high-pressure injection molding and is integrated directly into plastic materials. Importantly, this solution is manufactured without intentionally added fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, or any other pre- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), supporting customer's sustainability goals and regulatory compliance by offering an alternative to intentionally added PFAS materials.

Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers integrates directly into plastic materials and migrates to the surface during molding to facilitate a smooth demolding experience. This process can help reduce cycle times and boost productivity by reducing demolding times and protecting the mold and the manufactured plastic parts while utilizing an alternative to PFAS-based additives. Limiting Damage: By acting as a lubricant, Evoluscend™ additive can help limit mold damage, supporting the longevity and quality of the mold and the plastic products

The higher toughness of long fiber composites makes them among the most durable of injection molding plastic materials with structural characteristics. As a general rule, load forces for plastic articles should be no more than half of the material’s maximum load capability to prevent creep from occurring. Plastics also require fewer finishing operations than other materials and their increased design freedom can reduce component count eliminating assembly steps.
