This novel additive works to release hydrogen, transforming oxygen into minute amounts of odorless and tasteless water molecules. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Extends product shelf life and reduces waste • Maintains clarity and aesthetics of the bottle while keeping contents fresh • Located in the closure, eliminating the need to add a scavenger to the container wall • Allows unlimited design freedom, including lightweighting • Has achieved APR Critical Guidance Recognition • Allows up to 100% rPET usage • Does not negatively impact the PET or polyolefin recycle streams PRODUCT BULLETIN PROCESSING PARTICULARS Capture is designed to work with 1-piece HDPE and PP plug seal closures. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

THE SOLUTION Working collaboratively with SurfCo and its manufacturer and processor, Avient set to work on developing a polymeric, wet grip technology. Building on the design concept from SurfCo, Avient conducted additional R&D work to formulate a specialty thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that could be coextruded with polypropylene (PP) film and meet the high expectations of SurfCo and surfers everywhere.

Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. HOW IT WORKS Hydro electret charging works by improving the crystallinity and mechanical deformation of a material to prevent electret charging from drifting. Charging only works when the correct masterbatch is utilized which, together with the fiber denier, gram weight and number of layers, ensures that the middle layer of protective masks can effectively trap smaller particles.

And we will work with you to improve cycle time, assess manufacturing efficiencies and improve costs.

DENSO M E C H A N I C A L H V A C D O O R F L A P • Processability was key as the part had to be injection compression molded due to its extremely thin nature • Copper resistance • Light weight • Anti-static • Low VOC • Worked in close collaboration with the customer to understand key design challenges and needs • Streamlined the development process through global presence, working locally in Europe while also running trials in Asia • Re-designed the part to provide a 90% weight reduction • Utilized material science expertise to create a custom formulation that improved resistance to copper deposits and enabled injection compression molding Customized Maxxam™ Formulation KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Application Snapshot Smartbatch Frost SFX Final COSMETICS BRAND P E R S O N A L C A R E P E T & R P E T P A C K A G I N G • Solutions suitable for 100% rPET carrier colorants • Compatible with all ISBM molding machines • Should work with a wide variety of rPET grades • Worked with customer to provide a special effect solution that achieved a matte or frost- like effect in PET resin • Created a formulation that diffuses light and enhances bottle appearance, similar to edge- glass • Allowed the customer greater design freedom with a wide range of color options • Enabled customer to reduce VOC by eliminating bottle spraying SmartBatch™ Frost Collection KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?
