These materials have definitely become more complex since that first Tupperware™ container emerged from an injection mold. Limestone is composed mostly of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) but may contain dolomite or another crystalline form of calcium carbonate called aragonite.1   While conventional plastics retain heat, plastics containing thermally conductive fillers distribute heat and carry it away from the heat source.

This layer filters out aerosols and particulates containing bacteria and viruses to protect the wearer and those around them. Parameters tracked for air emissions include greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants. When a loss of containment is discovered, loose pellets are promptly contained and cleaned up.

Avient does not use perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) in its product formulations. When a loss of containment is discovered, loose pellets are promptly contained and cleaned up. Avient does currently use a small amount of fluoropolymers and PFAS containing additives as raw materials which represent less than 3% of our global product portfolio.

The FlexCart flagship metering system is the largest option available in the range using a container suitable for manual handling. PlanetPak containers are optimized and recommended for Avient liquid colors and additives. OTHER PACKAGING OPTIONS The FlexCart system can be used with other containers, which could include Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC), drums or pails.

They can be used for both mono- and multi-layer containers. Handling ColorMatrix oxygen scavengers are supplied in sealed air and moisture-tight containers and require no drying before use. Good Container Aesthetics When blowing conditions are optimized, excellent container clarity can be achieved, also when used in combination with other ColorMatrix colorant technologies.

The PlanetPak containers center on a robust design that offers both sustainable principles and outstanding yield. The packaging is designed to effectively contain and transport Avient liquid colors and additives. PlanetPak containers are available in a range of sizes either for use with the FlexCart or as standalone packaging for customers’ orders.

The extremely versatile FlexOne works uniquely with Avient’s patented PlanetPak™ delivery containers to provide liquid metering. The basis of a PlanetPak container is a robust polythene liner with a proprietary collapsing design, enclosed in a cardboard shell and housing an integrated delivery pump. All PlanetPak containers are recyclable, with the liners and outer shell readily processed in all regions.

FlexCart Nano is the ideal metering system for smaller throughputs and uses a standard 1kg PlanetPak™ container as the delivery pack. The FlexCart Nano unit, due to its smaller size and reduced throughput, is designed to work only with the 1kg PlanetPak container. The PlanetPak container range is the standardized range of packaging used with the FlexCart systems.

The technology addresses the limitations of traditional APET thermoformed cups and containers, which can only be used up to 60°C, by increasing its heat stability to up to 100°C. Cesa Raise modified APET containers are also an alternative to crystallized PET (CPET) as they offer transparency and an increased productivity in the thermoforming process.
