Specifically, the material needed to provide long-lasting glow-in-the-dark performance, a grippy yet comfortable feel, the ability to be laser etched with appropriate logos, and simplified processing for cost control. The material is also complicated to process, which can increase costs further.

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.

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.

Cesa™ Light Diffusion Additives enable manufacturers to develop consumer-pleasing automotive lighting systems that also meet OEM’s demands for manufacturability and cost management. Cost efficient formulations have been developed to meet a wide range of technical and design requirements.

These anti-fog additives are a cost-efficient means of minimizing condensation from forming on polyolefin films used to pack perishable fresh foods. Adding an anti-fog solution to a film recipe delivers value to brand owners and film manufacturers in multiple ways: Reduces operating cost: Anti-fog additives are a drop-in solution.

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.
