Our teams researched the best combination of additive and carrier resin for the application. Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear and opaque resins, the team had to explore two different avenues—one that preserved clarity and one that retained opacity. As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.

Bottles and closures have traditionally been made using virgin resin. Injection and fill pressures will be different with PCR versus virgin resin due to viscosity inconsistencies of the PCR  Incorporating PCR into closures is reported to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 71% over the use of virgin resin¹.

Colorant and additive masterbatches created with virgin resin, however, means a package does not reach the full 100% PCR goal.  Replaces virgin resin, reducing total energy consumption and limiting emissions* Add antistatic and UV protection to products built from biodegradable resins.

40% Glass-Filled Resin However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin. Scratch and mar performance is average but not as good as some engineered nylon 6 or 66 resins.
