LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations
For Conveyor Belt Gears
With high strength and durability, metal has been a
reliable material for machinery parts for centuries,
however, more commonly traditional materials
are being replaced by plastic alternatives that offer
performance, cost and sustainability benefits.
With only one machine required for
production of a plastic gear, these formulations can
reduce manufacturing steps, processing time and
material costs.

For brand owners seeking to maximize their rPET
usage up to 100% to achieve sustainability and
recyclability targets, Amosorb 4020R offers a cost
effective solution with reliable oxygen scavenging
performance and low haze levels on final bottles.
For converters manufacturing bottles for oxygen
sensitive beverages such as juices or teas and
sauces, Amosorb 4020R is a unique masterbatch
solution offering a reliable, cost effective oxygen
scavenging performance, while giving freedom of
usage for many different grades of rPET up to 100%
in content.

Because every pound of scrap can lead to higher costs
and the potential loss of hard-earned customers, the
Avient team worked overtime to develop a formulation
that could be easily integrated into the manufacturer’s
production lines.
