THE BENEFITS PLASTIWARD brings counterfeiting protection of plastic articles as close as possible to the end consumers by integrating taggants into your products’ polymer masterbatch, complying with required regulations and minimizing any impact on production. TURNKEY SYSTEM PLASTIWARD is a robust, customizable and cost-effective turnkey system consisting of: · proprietary taggants integrated directly within the polymer masterbatch · a handheld detector offering instant fake- checking in the field · a secure monitoring platform on smartphone or tablet capturing field inspection data, transmitted in real time COMBINED EXPERTISE At its core, PLASTIWARD brings together SICPA’s trusted expertise in brand protection technologies and processes, and Avient’s recognized expertise in polymer modification with colour and performance additives. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. These CFAs are the result of Avient’s combined experiences in the development of chemical foaming agents for automotive plastic components and polymer solutions for healthcare applications. The products help reduce material use by up to 20% depending on part geometry and wall thickness.

They offer a more sustainable alternative to density modified grades based on prime/virgin polymers. These polymer formulations have been developed to achieve equivalent performance to prime density modified solutions with added sustainability benefits. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

New material and design options give consumers more freedom than ever before. Replace multiple metal parts with a single polymer shape. Engineered plastic compounds that can meet or exceed the properties and appearances of metal are creating even more opportunities for plastic parts to take over as an incumbent material.
