To solve this issue, the converter required immediate action from the sheet producer. The Avient team quickly went to work formulating a custom OnCap™ Denesting additive solution, which was optimized to solve the issue of packaging trays sticking together while also delivering a consistent, easy release that exceeded the brand owner’s expectations.

The concept was born out of a desire to replace traditional wax, which is messy and rubs off over time. Building on the design concept from SurfCo, Avient conducted additional R&D work to formulate a specialty thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that could be coextruded with polypropylene (PP) film and meet the high expectations of SurfCo and surfers everywhere.
