Hydrocerol plays a critical role
in an Avient-wide program to support a sustainable plastics industry.
The organization presents the opportunity to align globally as an industry

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/AVIENT_TPEs and LSR eBook.pdf
On the other hand, TPEs are most commonly processed using in-line, single-
screw injection equipment that has been routinely used in the plastics industry
for decades.
In the beverage industry, TPE liners in metal
bottle caps effectively protect the taste and freshness of beer, a product
that is particularly sensitive to oxygen.
