New at Pharmapack are color and additive masterbatches based on a PE carrier that is manufactured using non-fossil feedstocks.
The resins have bio-based content up to 95 percent, as calculated to ASTM D6866 standard.
As drop-in replacements for fossil-based color concentrates, they can be processed the same way and recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polyolefins.

Part of this process is to help sites develop their own EH&S Maturity Road Map which guides them through the implementation of our standards through a risk based approach.
Our security programs are risk-based, flexible and responsive to the environments in which we operate.
In 2020, 100% of our required associates completed web-based cybersecurity training to help them identify and respond to potential cybersecurity risks and reinforce safe behaviors.

It also provides context on development timelines, some industries have tight timelines based on annual launch windows while others have a long specification process.

The most commonly GLS recommended color concentrates are based on polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
To make dispersion easier, the color concentrate should have slightly lower viscosity (higher MFI) than the base TPE.

These measurements are based on a pre-defined and dependable standard of color tables.
Color separations are made based on this information but, once the screens are on press, the color becomes somewhat less standardized.
This hinders the ability of the white base to control the luminosity and the color blending between hues, and is caused by the over-saturation of color through the lack of white or black influences reflecting through the ink.
