On March 13, 2013, PolyOne acquired Spartech Corporation (Spartech), a supplier of sustainable plastic sheet, color and engineered materials, and packaging solutions. Widespread adoption of these laws and regulations, along with public perception, may have an adverse impact on sales of plastic materials.

Fogging on plastics films is really not all that different than the fog that forms outside; it’s just that, on a plastic film, fog forms on a convenient hydrophobic surface—namely, the film. Film materials and processing technologies have come a long way THE FOG THREAT: WHERE WILL IT STRIKE? But plastics material systems are dynamic too.

Please contact Avient for additional information HOW GRAVI-TECH MAKES THE DIFFERENCE FOR PACKAGING CLOSURES IN THE LUXURY COSMETICS AND SPIRITS MARKETS FOR BRAND OWNERS Create a weighted closure for a luxury brand product – Gravi-Tech is a high density, injection moldable material which can be as lightweight as plastic or up to four times as heavy as aluminum. FDA compliant materials are also available. Get the look and touch of metal – With grades suitable for metalization and electroplating you can achieve the look and feel of metal FOR CONVERTERS Compete in premium markets – Gravi-Tech material’s luxury aesthetics allow plastics converters to reach new markets by competing against aluminum, zinc, iron, or steel and other alloys.

They act as plasticizers to improve the flow of the polymer through the process (extrusion, injection molding, extrusion blow molding, etc), reducing the heat and energy needed. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

OEMs and tier-one suppliers strive to reduce vehicle weight and incorporate more recycled materials into parts. European Parliament has proposed targets for the End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive that outline a minimum of 25% of the plastic used to build new vehicles sold from 2030 must come from recycled sources. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

A challenge faced when coloring PCR resins include recyclate materials with an undertone or opacity that can restrict color options in PET, rPET and rPP. Lightest colored recycled materials are therefore in high demand for all applications, limiting market availability. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
