Melt processing of SmartHeat RHC products is carried out at typical PET processing conditions at recommended dose rates, which range from .02% to .075%. Care must be taken to optimize the bottle blowing process due to the increased heat-up rate of the preform, to take advantage of the many benefits offered by this product range.

Effective quality procedures are needed to help mitigate unreliable and inconsistent results. And, speaking of dust, to keep workers safe, you’ll need to have a proper air filtration system and/or protective equipment. You’ll need to account for added inventory planning steps and raw material delivery cycles.

millions, except per share data) Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.

Brand owners are pledging to significantly increase PCR usage in packaging to meet sustainability targets, but they still need to supply attractive colored products with minimal color deviation. Masterbatch coloring needs to be corrected each time the color properties of PCR change. The tool will increase the upcycling of PCR and will help to achieve pledged PCR usage rates.
