The simpler injection process can also lead to reduced production waste, while lightweighting lowers production costs per bottle.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic, particularly in the food and beverage industry, because of its recyclability, lightweight properties, and durability.

Thermoplastics: Trilliant™ HC high performance formulations deliver excellent chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures and components. Overmolded thermoplastic elastomers: Versaflex™ HC solutions provide excellent chemical resistance to alcohol, bleach and peroxide based antiseptics, and bonds to chemically resistant substrate resins for superior adhesion and durability across a wide range of applications.

Caption: Avient adds Maxxam™ REC recycled polyolefins and Maxxam™ BIO bio-based polyolefin grades to its broad portfolio of sustainable specialty engineered materials.  With brands across many industries making commitments to incorporate more recycled and bio-based materials into their products, we are constantly developing formulations that help enable these goals,” said Matt Mitchell, director global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials.
