For instance, Avient engineers successfully used 100% PCR PET in composite unidirectional tapes and laminates, and PCR nylon 6 from reclaimed fishing nets in a LFT composite.

These materials feature improved chemical resistance to trusted hospital-grade disinfectants over other flame-resistant (FR) polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and copolyester.

The new Edgetek™ ET8900 CR series formulations feature outstanding chemical and crack resistance to common consumer disinfectants versus conventional alternative polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PET, and PC/PBT.

It can be seen that the PC/ABS and PC/PET samples failed to survive the disinfectant exposure and produce a testable sample. With regards to PC alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS < PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on previous research and the marketing literature of PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR performance against the household cleaners.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN 1 How to keep a sustainable PET recycling industry in Europe - EPBP - European PET Bottle Platform 2 How circular is PET? Active and passive oxygen barriers are additives that are broadly used in the PET bottle industry, across the value chain; they guarantee the optimal shelf life of packaged goods such as beer, juices, RTD beverages, or condiments, to name a few. Amosorb SolO2 in particular is often utilized for products requiring long-term shelf-life protection from oxygen ingress and/or CO2 egress.
