(API) of Gainesville, Texas, a
manufacturer of plastic pipe components, saw an opportunity
to design a flapper valve that could improve upon traditional
brass valves and enable non-corrosive, all-plastic piping
systems.
Don Houston of API said, “In addition to all these drawbacks,
brass valves have to be joined to plastic piping with steel
fittings.
We wanted to make it easier for our customers to
create durable piping systems by developing a plastic flapper
valve that could be easily fused onto polyethylene (PE) pipe.

In addition, manufacturers of beauty and personal care packaging often require materials that are clear or brightly colored to attract consumer attention.

CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS (CFAs)
are chemical substances that react under the
influence of heat to release gas into the plastic
matrix during the manufacturing process of
plastic parts.
The gases form a cellular foam
structure in the plastic that reduces the amount
of material needed and hence the part’s
weight.
The portfolio
includes non-hazardous endothermic substances
that require minimum cooling of the plastic parts
after manufacturing.

Bis (2ethylhexyl) Phtalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer and
component in the manufacturing of pelletized plastic
compounds, mostly for use in the manufacture of wire
and cable insulation (wire jackets).

One
angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that
help reduce plastic material use.
These CFAs are
the result of Avient’s combined experiences in
the development of chemical foaming agents
for automotive plastic components and polymer
solutions for healthcare applications.
They also improve the visual appearance of plastic
components by reducing sink marks.

Unlike PVC, these materials are made without phthalate plasticizers, offer high clarity in some cases, bond to a variety of substrates, and can be customized for color and hardness.
Specialty TPEs formulated for high clarity, without plasticizers, to improve high service temperature performance, and to meet biopharmaceutical needs for weldability and low extractables

Plastics
In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so
important.
If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse,
the ocean.
Efforts can be made and systems can be built to keep discarded plastic in the
economy to either be upcycled, recycled, reused or composted.
