Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic

Each of our directors also has the following personal characteristics, which are required attributes for all board members: high ethical standards, integrity, judgment and an ability to devote sufficient time to the affairs of our Company.

This year, we took an interim engagement survey that collected our associates’ feedback in similarly themed areas that are required to build a high- trust organization. Of particular note, our high-strength composites that enable lightweighting and barrier additives that reduce material requirements and increase shelf life both performed exceptionally well. The high level of attention, engagement and collaboration among member CEOs has been instrumental in AEPW’s very first year.

Rigid thermoplastics include both commodity thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), acrynitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyamide (PA), PC/ABS blend and PPO/PS blend etc.. As given in Table 2, TPE-1 demonstrates good adhesion on all ten substrates with very different surface energy and polarity; from the low like PP to the high like PC and ABS.

Apex has implemented a Code of Ethics across the business to maintain high ethical standards among staff in their day-to-day business activities.

With high speed wet-on-wet printing and the capability to cure at low to standard temperatures, Wilflec Epic Rio RFU colors are developed to improve productivity and reduce cost.

Product engineers and designers face the ongoing challenge of optimising both design and material selection to deliver parts for high-performing applications.

Joule RHB products have also been found to have a synergistic and beneficial processing effect with use of rPET, not only in masking the color during recycling but also in enabling high levels of rPET to be successfully incorporated in preforms.

• Inorganic flame retardants dilute the available plastic fuel, dilute the incendiary gases, and absorb energy via endothermic reactions, but must be used at very high dosages. • Intumescent flame retardants form a protective layer upon combustion, eliminating the polymer fuel source. • Non-halogenated flame retardants, or halogen- free flame retardants (HFFR), lower flammability and slow fire spread in polymer materials.
