This solution can help avoid static problems, while also improving processability and mold release.

Quartz, or crystalline silica, is suitable for many purposes, while production via chemical processing is required to make a purer or otherwise more suitable product (e.g. more reactive or with lower particle size).

This expertise enables brands to meet sustainability goals while maintaining the mechanical properties of traditional TPEs.

THE IMPACT The main objective of this development work was to provide an alternative to one-piece solid aluminum and stainless-steel props while enabling similar performance.

While the effect is most visible on light colored parts, the appearance of dark parts is also enhanced.

In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low cycle time with improved processability and tailored crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Extends product shelf life and reduces waste • Maintains clarity and aesthetics of the bottle while keeping contents fresh • Located in the closure, eliminating the need to add a scavenger to the container wall • Allows unlimited design freedom, including lightweighting • Has achieved APR Critical Guidance Recognition • Allows up to 100% rPET usage • Does not negatively impact the PET or polyolefin recycle streams PRODUCT BULLETIN PROCESSING PARTICULARS Capture is designed to work with 1-piece HDPE and PP plug seal closures.

The wheel forks utilize a long carbon fiber-reinforced nylon 6/6 composite, while the wheel hub comprises long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane.

Avient also used its custom color matching capabilities to provide pre-colored material that simplified molding, while the material’s wide processing window helped accommodate a variety of molding environments. * V0 @ 1.5 and 3.0mm FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes 1% strain not tested 1% strain not tested FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes 1% strain not tested 1% strain not tested FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) TENSILE STRENGTH RETENTION AFTER 7 DAYS EXPOSURE Both materials were tested according to ASTM D543 for 7 days.
