This degradation can impact the processability, quality, and food safety of packaging made from rPET. They can accumulate over time, leading to potential regulatory and safety concerns. These scavengers can also lead to the formation of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) that can accumulate and pose compliance risks.

This can be especially true if you want smaller quantities, or need a wide range of colors. There are some things you can do to help minimize these challenges. Liquid color can provide up to a 50% reduction in changeover time compared to solid.

Antimicrobial and antifungal additives can protect the user interfaces and touchpoints from mold, mildew, and bacteria, while antistatic and conductive formulations can prevent static discharge and create safer, statically dissipated plastic parts.   Material durability and weatherability can lengthen EVSE service life and help maintain equipment aesthetics over time. They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

Can incorporate more natural sources to create a stronger sustainable story  Choosing recycled content can be more limiting from a surface aesthetic and colorability standpoint, but brands can share a waste diversion story that supports a circular economy. With bio-based content, design freedom is much broader and brands can promote using a renewable source.

Specific applications where TPEs can help include: Soft and semi-rigid orthotics can benefit from the use of soft TPEs. Vibration and noise damping: Reducing the amount of vibration or noise given off by medical equipment can enhance comfort.

The collection of eleven earthy and elegant bio-derived colors can be used with recycled and bio-derived resins, and can also be formulated for use with fully biodegradable and compostable resins. See how our specially formulated colorants can help differentiate your brand How can you make the most of color, from design through processing?

Here are the top three automotive components that can benefit from conversion to molded-in-color: It can be a challenge to paint these designs without overspray, drips and other imperfections. That’s also the amount that you can save by switching to molded-in color components.
