It is believed that ESC is the leading cause of plastic component failure1, accounting for 25% or more of observed failures in the field .

This technology offers manufacturing efficiencies versus other crosslinking methods: • Reduction in logistics management: No secondary steps after manufacturing; no need for E-beam radiation for effective crosslinking • Rapid ambient curing: Typically in less than 15 days depending on the climatic condition, wall thickness and catalyst level • No additional capital investment: The material can be processed on a conventional extrusion line • Easy handling: ECCOH XL 8001 is used with 2.5–5% of catalyst masterbatch • No pre-drying: No need to pre-dry the material if it is stored correctly PRODUCT BULLETIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS Avient’s ECCOH line of highly flame retardant, non-halogenated materials limits the emission of corrosive gases when burning.

By incorporating this more sustainable alternative, organizations can reduce or minimize the costly record management and reporting requirements for working with lead.

These ready-to-use technologies offer extended shelf life capabilities and the flexibility to manage the additional demands of rPET usage, resin compatibility and flexibility, sustainability, light- weighting, aesthetics, market seasonality and carbonated oxygen sensitive beverages.

Are data management facilities needed?

A range of standard colors also helps molders and extruders manage inventory and working capital.

Are data management facilities needed?

For these reasons plastics for packaging play an important role in everyday life, however, due to the high volume and rather short usage life of plastic packaging items, they require appropriate management, especially at the end of their life.
