The new masterbatch package from Avient enables us to enter the wine cork market with a Marfran TPE and foaming agent that complies with the necessary food contact requirements and the visual effect of genuine cork. It also allows us to deliver good moldability and resistance to sterilization.

Following proposals from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restrict the use of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), these grades extend Avient’s LubriOne™ formulations portfolio avoiding the use of fluorinated lubricants such as PTFE.     Improving the safety and reliability of part performance is a challenge our customers often bring to us,” said Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.
