Container Design and Thickness
Some PET container designs and shapes include varying thicknesses.
When additives are not specifically designed for use in PET, they can migrate from the polymer matrix and form tiny deposits.

SHANGHAI – January 27, 2021 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today announced the second material in its Artisan™ pre-colored thermoplastic series.
Our newest Artisan metallic effect ABS formulation can help design engineers address these current trends – as well as scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and design freedom – while eliminating secondary processing.”
Examples include:
• 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
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Designing for Sustainability

Andwin Scientific sought out a supplier, knowing that any materials needed to be inert to liquid medicines such as amoxicillin – not to mention FDA-compliant.
The shell would be made with a custom-formulated Synprene™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) blend that provides resistance to most common medications and is flexible enough for the fins to work as designed.
To assure the consistency of the product’s appearance and quality, the Synprene™ blend was designed to tolerate processing variability.
