The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.

Exploring the Benefits of Bio-Based Alternatives Boosting rPET Quality and Safety in Packaging Enhancing the Circularity of PET: Challenges and Solutions Why Three-Party Collaboration Leads to Bottle Manufacturing Success Navigating Beyond PFAS Military-Grade Protection for U.S.

They offer a more sustainable alternative to density modified grades that are based on prime/virgin polymers. Gravi-Tech REC recycled grades enable visual surface effects and aesthetics including metallic finish, cool touch and color variation, suitable for applications in packaging and consumer goods such as cosmetic caps and closures, perfume caps, spirit bottle caps and luxury boxes. 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 PRODUCT BULLETIN CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC-CI GT5200-5089 PT Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5075 Black X2 Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5078 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5079 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5060 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT5200-5057 Black Base Resin Ocean Bound rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP rPP Recycled Content/Filler g/cm >98% PIR+PCR 60% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR/Mineral >95% PIR+PCR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral 30% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.9 2.0 CHARACTERISTICS UNITS Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5034 X2 FD Natural Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5036 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT7300-5025 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5032 Black Gravi-Tech REC GT6000-5031 Black Base Resin ABS rABS/ABS rABS rPA6 rPA6 Recycled Content/Filler g/cm 50% PIR/Mineral 65% PIR/Mineral 10% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral 20% PIR/Mineral Density (ISO 1183) g/ccm 1.5 1.5 2.2 2.7 2.8 AVAILABLE GRADES Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.

LOW HAZE The new 4020G grade of ColorMatrix Amosorb offers similar oxygen scavenging performance as previous solutions with the added benefit of up to 50% lower haze, resulting in improved clarity and clearer looking bottles. Our testing shows that ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G is one of the most robust oxygen scavengers for PET rigid containers, with negligible effect on oxygen scavenging efficacy for the rPET grade tested, while other competitive materials lost almost all efficacy with rPET content as low as 20%. Compared to previous grades of Amosorb, 4020G halves the b* color shift resulting in lower impact on quality of rPET.

To produce a glossy surface, a polished mold is required and an unfilled grade should be used. Rheological balancing is possible, but only for a specific grade or rheometric curve. Due to the low viscosity of some GLS grades, properly maintained tight valve gates are required to prevent leakage or hair flash.

In addition to the traditional petroleum-based BT218 grade, this portfolio also features a biopolymer alternative that contains 40% bio- derived content to support sustainability and meets the same strict performance requirements. Offering reliable performance, optical clarity and expanded design freedom, these medical- grade TPEs may be customized to meet specific regulatory demands or application needs. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Meets critical need for thermal weldability and kink resistance • Minimizes extractables during processing • Provides excellent tensile strength • Complies with USP VI and ISO 10993-4, -5, -11 certifications • Suitable for gamma and autoclave sterilization methods • Bio-based grade option formulated with nearly 40% Gen 1 biomass content PRODUCT OVERVIEW 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

Versaflex™ & Versalloy™ Specialty Engineered Materials Thermoplastic Elastomers for Healthcare Applications Delivering specialized thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions for demanding healthcare applications, Avient has performance-grade materials that are approved for USP VI, ISO 10993-4 and 10993-5. Formulated without phthalate plasticizers, several of our grades offer high clarity, bond to a variety of substrates and can be customized.
