These composites also deliver better flow
characteristics at high fiber content levels, which
eases filling thin wall sections or long flow lengths.
LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE
AESTHETICS
Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber
reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain
without high mold temperatures that
lengthen cycle times.

Challe
nge Accepted.
With lightweighting benefits and design freedom, this
high-end composite was shown in mold filling and
FEA analysis to maintain the reliability and strength of
metal.
Using the new Complēt long glass fiber nylon
formulation, the redesigned yoke underwent testing
at Bettcher to simulate 500,000 run cycles.

This helps make APET food packaging
suitable for a wider range of applications, including
hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and microwave use.
The PET packaging market is experiencing
significant growth, driven by increasing
sustainability demands, higher recycling targets,
and the shift away from alternative materials
such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP).
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
• Thermoformed, APET food packaging, including:
- Hot steam sterilization
- Hot fill
- Microwave use
• Polyester
• Sheet extrusion & thermoforming
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Suitable for hot steam sterilization, hot fill, and
microwave applications
• Ideal for food-grade containers with high rigidity
and improved gas barrier
• Can withstand temperatures up to 100°C
• Available in both transparent and opaque
options
• Processable on existing thermoforming lines
with heated molds
KEY BENEFITS
• A fully circular monomaterial, up to 100% rPET
polymer content
• Promotion of the circularity of PET and the
resulting packaging is possible
• Helps customers to comply with the Packaging
and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) that
demands recyclability of all packaging with
binding PCR content targets by 2030
• Demonstrates improved productivity in
comparison to CPET during thermoforming
• Helps avoid possible EPR fees or penalties on
difficult-to-recycle packaging

In 2014,
it was spun off from Closure Systems International (CSI),
and currently produces over three billion aluminum
closures annually in 28 and 30 millimeter diameters
suitable for any type of still, carbonated or alcoholic
beverage packaged in glass, PET or aluminum bottles.
Sealing of reusable
glass bottles with rim imperfections presents an even
greater challenge compared to sealing of one-way,
disposable bottles.
Avient offers GLS TPE cap liner formulations that are
suitable for aqueous, acidic and low alcohol beverages
processed under ambient, pasteurized
or hot fill conditions.
