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. The additive’s formulation ensures smooth and efficient processing of mono-material polyolefin films that contain low-temperature sealing layers, improving the overall performance of the packaging, and providing a reliable and user-friendly experience for both manufacturers and end-users. KEY FEATURES • Enables the transition from complex, multi- material flexible packaging to recyclable mono- material solutions • Provides anti-block and slip functionalities for low-temperature sealing layers • Helps to eliminate non-compatible film layers in food packaging • Improves yield during sorting and enhances post-consumer recyclate (PCR) quality, helping to reduce waste • Compatible with polyolefins and seamlessly integrates into existing film extrusion processes MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Cesa Anti-Block Slip LS is used in various applications in flexible polyolefin food packaging, including bags and pouches, lidding films, and lamination films.

They are recommended to create a sandpaper-like surface modification of thick films (>80 to 100 microns). Cesa Grip 9101 masterbatch is used for the production of film for heavy-duty bags. Anti-fog additives are a cost-efficient means of maintaining the high-optical qualities of polyolefin films used to pack perishable foods.

This Versaflex™ PKG TPE is formulated for aluminum caps used for sealing glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or aluminum containers. We specifically engineered our Versaflex PKG 4190 low-migration TPEs to preserve the quality of even the most delicate beverages, provide good seal integrity, and allow easy removal of the cap.” The new Versaflex PKG material comes as a granular material that is compliant with EU 10/2011 and FDA 177.1210 food contact regulations.

The injection-moldable Versaflex™ HC 3810 series is formulated without animal derivatives and offers a wide range of durometers to serve a variety of medical device applications.   Commercially available in North America, the new specialty Versaflex grades are translucent and offer excellent colorability. Versaflex 3810 materials can be used with gamma and autoclave sterilization methods.

CLEVELAND – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE:POL) has launched a new overmolding technology based on its Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), developed for vibration and impact damping applications. The new Versaflex VDT solution enables a better end-user experience in a wide range of products for which manufacturers seek increased comfort and resilience. The new Versaflex VDT solution can also help reduce noise by minimizing vibrations transmitted from motors and pumps.

Versaflex™ HC thermoplastic elastomers can enhance ergonomics in medical devices by adding a soft touch and improved grip. Specifically formulated to bond tightly to the semi-crystalline Trilliant HC substrate, Versaflex HC OM 8940 demonstrated excellent peel strength (also known as bond strength).
