Its customer, a luxury European automaker, was buying radiator shrouds that the molder made from a black talc-filled polypropylene on a single-cavity injection system.
Spikes in production were great for the molder’s bottom line, but sometimes the increased demand outstripped its ability to fill orders.
The additive concentrate not only reduced cycle times as expected, it allowed the supplier to achieve better flow and mold filling.

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.
