This hesitation can stem from several factors: Bottle Development Process: New developments are conducted using small-scale lab equipment, which serve as excellent molding platforms. For this stage to be successful, a large number of preforms — ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 — must be produced for each variant.

This technology protects light-sensitive dairy products such as ultra-pasteurized milk and protein-enhanced yogurts from photo-induced degradation by providing 99.99% UV and visible-light blocking. For this reason, Lactra SX was recently awarded the China Sustainable Packaging Award 2017 from M. They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Jarus has deep polymer technical knowledge, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, a Master of Science in Macromolecular Science, and a Ph.D. in Polymers, all from He also earned an MBA from They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

He has demonstrated clear and consistent leadership, which I will build upon in PolyOne’s pursuit of continued growth as a specialty company.” Patterson earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration and master’s degree in accounting from the University of Michigan. They are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

This decision is primarily influenced by recent regulatory requirements such as California’s Proposition 65, which includes the monomers acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene, and a recent French law prohibiting styrenic materials in packaging. The new grades are also suitable for electroplating, which delivers the look and feel of metal, making them a suitable choice for bottled alcohol and cosmetic caps and closures.   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Increased rPET content requires higher levels of acetaldehyde (AA) scavenger, which can lead to issues. Anthranilamide based AA scavengers are prone to migration and formation of primary aromatic amines, both of which increase regulatory risk. ColorMatrix™ AAzure™ reduces carbon emissions while also reducing preform AA, which helps to minimize the risk of off-taste in bottle contents.

As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Versalloy TPV, which is now used in the production of end cuffs for a variety of repeated-use surgical and respiratory hoses. These savings resulted from Versalloy’s lower specific gravity (0.88 compared to 0.95) and a 50% reduction in scrap rate. Higher productivity: The improved flow properties of the Versalloy solution enabled the hose manufacturer to increase throughput by two seconds, which in turn reduced total system costs.

From the simple feel of a toothbrush, to the protective casing on an X-ray machine, plastics play a crucial role in our daily lives. As part of our engagement, Avient is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW), which is a consortium of nearly 30 companies that have pledged $1.5B to help clean up plastic waste. From lightweighting to renewable energy applications to improved recyclability, Avient has a robust portfolio of sustainable solutions.
