Is TPE the best material for my products? This means a large volume of product (anywhere from tens of thousands to over a million units) can be created by heating the TPE blend and injecting it into a mold, where the TPEs cool and form the desired shape. This ability to flow freely in a near-melted state is an important property because it allows TPEs to be molded into any shape you want.

Cesa™ Anti-Block Slip LS Additives for low-temperature sealing layers in flexible polyolefin packaging FOOD PACKAGING IN A CHANGING MARKET In many food contact applications, flexible plastic packaging is replacing rigid packaging for varied reasons; it has lightweight characteristics, is easy to customize in any shape, and has a favorable carbon footprint. More and more convertors and brand owners working with flexible film products are seeking materials and solutions that permit them to work with mono-material compositions for their packaging options, as mono-materials are easier to recycle and therefore contribute to a circular economy over time. WHAT IT DOES Cesa™ Anti-Block Slip LS is a range of additives for flexible polyolefin packaging that helps convertors and brand owners switch from multi-material to mono-material packaging.

In addition to increased flexibility, designers wanted the prosthetic foot to provide multiaxial stability, have a symmetrical shape for right or left side application, and provide a modern, attractive design—a feature generally reserved for higher activity prosthetic feet. Beyond material selection, the collaborative team also identified a proprietary design and finishing process that could be achieved with the tooling already in place at WillowWood’s Ohio-based manufacturing facility. THE IMPACT Finding a material that could enable just the right amount of flexibility as well as necessary stability was critical to meet the needs of WillowWood’s target market.

Home // Reduce Carbon Footprint by Replacing Traditional Materials Avient developed a technology suite that uses specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics and helps our customers meet their goals to lower the carbon footprint of their products versus traditional materials, like PA66 and PA6. The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials—PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.
