They allow complex designs without expensive
tooling and customizable performance
characteristics (density, corrosion and chemical
resistance, mechanical performance), depending
on application need.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3)
• Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR
sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance can be adapted depending
on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with recycled resin from
post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or
post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including
ocean bound plastic waste
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil
feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs
versus metal

Traditionally, process aids for extrusion contain
fluoropolymers which may be classifiable as per-
and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), a group of
chemicals widely used in a variety of applications
due to their ability to be water and oil repellent,
non-stick, and heat resistant.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Reduces melt fracture leading to fast time
to clear
• Reduces die buildup
• Improves process efficiency
• Retains ability to seal and print
• Available in both solid and liquid
• Offers low concentration efficiency
• Reduces power requirements
• Does not interact with other additives
APPLICATIONS
• Blown film
• Profile extrusion
• Tubing and pipe extrusion
• Wire and cable applications
• Extruded sheet
• Applications in both virgin resin and PCR
