The Halal certification obtained by Avient includes its products that provide various visual enhancement effects and functional additives in solid and liquid form, which are used in a wide range of plastic for containers, caps, closures, film, and sheet applications by manufacturers throughout Indonesia and other predominantly Muslim countries.   Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

Available as a solid masterbatch, the additive can be extruded with packaging resins without the need for extra equipment. 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 Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®. 

We discuss trends with designers, weigh the advantages of liquid versus solid masterbatches and make a fully informed decision about the most beneficial masterbatch solution. HiFormer™ Liquid Technology for Plastic Coloration - Video HiFormer™ liquid masterbatch technology can help brand owners and plastic converters optimize the coloration of plastics used in applications ranging from personal care, food and beverage, appliances to construction and toys

Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation. Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties. They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

This article will explain bio-based and recycled raw materials often used in plastics while exploring key factors such as color, performance, regulations, price, and supply. Similar to traditional materials, confirming which standards must be met and ensuring the sustainable plastic formulation is compliant is important. For example, regulations in food-contact applications include EU 10/2011 (Plastics Implementation Measures, Europe), National Standards (GB, China), and regulations established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, USA).

These materials are formulated using select engineering resins along with proprietary conductive additives, and have been shown to improve thermal conductivity by 50-100 times that of conventional plastics.  Learn the possibilities of replacing metal with plastics in thermal management.

Ensure machine and pallets are free of ink and lint. Pallet spray adhesive must be non-phthalate.  Be sure to color code containers, squeegee handles, flood bars, pallet knives and any other equipment for chemistry type.
