To provide a secure grip for safety and usability, the company planned to overmold a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) onto the handle and other selected areas of the sprayer. Gripping feel = safety and usability for customers: Hand grips created from overmolded OnFlex-S TPE provide excellent anti-slip performance even when wet.

Closures are critical to the plastic packaging system because they can protect the contents of the package and provide safety aspects for the consumer. It can adversely affect quality and performance, impacting functionality and safety.

Simple electronics are on the way out, and in-vehicle information platforms and advanced safety and electrical systems are moving in. Making these systems work together requires materials that both advance performance and improve safety and efficiency.

For electrical safety, flame retardant gaskets insulate the boxes to reduce the chance of fire caused by sparks or electrical overload. For years, manufacturers have used halogens to achieve the needed safety properties.

Eco Pure® Biodegradation Accelerator: an additive that accelerates the natural biodegradation of commodity types of plastic to meet the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Union (EU) Food Contact Safety Regulations. Avient Taoyuan site is recognized as bluesign® SYSTEM PARTNER: a well-known accreditation that certifies increased sustainable chemistry and high product safety in the textile industry.

In order to prevent self-adhesion of plastic films or sheets, Cesa Anti-Block Additives reduce the surface’s coefficient of friction by creating a slightly rougher or smoother surface.
